Forget rain, beware giant cats! They could really damage your house.

Southerly: Bricks and Mortar, in reply to JLM,
Cabbage trees always seem to resprout
You could try digging up what's left and replanting it. I was given a cabbage tree for my garden which had only part of its main root still attached. I stuck it in the ground as an experiment and then when it didn't seem to have done anything after some months I started to dig it up again to throw away, only to find it was busy sprouting roots down there! I hurriedly re-buried them with apologies to the tree, and it went on to grow a magnificent crown.
Only to be chopped down unceremoniously by the subsequent owner of the house who didn't like having to pick up the leaves!
But cabbage trees are good at surviving.

Capture: A Foray into Portraiture, in reply to Alex Efimoff,
More portraits anyone? Let’s share what we’ve got :)
I'd like to, but my portraits are of people close to me and I don't feel comfortable posting them here.
Not to mention you've set an intimidatingly high standard. ;-)

It's amazing how toy-like the house looks, when it's up in the air in bits...surely it's not possible to do that to a real house...??

David, you write a wonderful story even when exhausted, and long after most people would have lost their sense of humour. Well done to you and Jen and all your helpers! And I hope the move is going swimmingly (but not in the Avon)....

The prodigious lifting ability you see in Ian today was honed carrying entire PA Systems up the steep, carpeted stairs of Melbourne pubs and RSLs
Ian can and does frequently lift the entire Public Address System, to this day. :-)

And no sun in Sumner- sumone who grew up with that
If only you'd been here the last few days, Islander! It's been sunny and still and amazing. Yesterday I waded in the sea and it was the perfect temperature.

no cram in Cranmer…
As one who used to cram just next to Cranmer, I beg to differ.
(written to you from sunny Sunmer by the sea. :-D
And thanks for the pics, Gudrun.

Aren't "Who's braver?", and "Who's more important?" red herrings anyway? There are so many experiences and so many viewpoints, I'd like to hear and see more of them. I don't think remembrance is a competition.
I liked what Jackson said
Seems important to me that we remember all sides of the big messy equation that war is, so we can better avoid it in the future.
