One look at my face should tell you all!
Thankfully the next door neighbor came and gave us a hand - NZ's are known for that sort of thing (whatever - they are only known for that sort of thing if the neighbors are family - and Graeme is my Brother-in-law!).
So at this stage of the game we are still digging and removing blocks - hopefully though this week we can start the rebuilding. It has been really bad weather here with more rain than we've had all year falling in the last few days - isn't that just typical! Anyway we are still remaining positive and hope to have some good news in the very near future!
