Wow, that is a lot of water. The recent downpour felt by Brisbane and it's suburbs has been intense. I myself drove home in it and was one of the last cars let through a road that was then closed off due to flooding. Before attempting to pass through this thoroughfare, I recalled seeing on the news countless numbers of people attempting this same thing and coming off second best and abandonding their floating car. I also distinctly remembered thinking, "What idiots!" Suddenly, I had this terrible fear I was about to become on of those idiots. It was a tretcherous 20m journey, but through shear determination and will power, my car pulled on its LZR racing swimsuit and flippers and swam through the raging waters as if it was a mear puddle.
After my harrowing journey, I reflected on what could have been, if I had merely bewitched car to fly as a certain Mr. Arthur Weasley has done. With this magical car, I could have soared straight over the water, obviously I would have pressed the invisibility booster button as muggles were in the vicinity, and I would not have lost the 5 seconds I did by driving though at 20km/h.
Latest Harry Potter hot off the press: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II will be released in cinemas July 15, 2011, exactly 2 years after Half-Blood Prince. This means there is only 2 more years of Harry Potter left, I'm betting on a TV series after that. Fingers crossed.
Following my daring water crossing, the rest of my day was spent inside the confines of my house, or out the back under cover, throwing dog toys into large puddles and watching my dogs chase after them. I also recently witnessed two young gentlemen carrying canoes down to the local park.
That's all for now folks, keep yourself dry and in good hands! Sanch.
