SHIT HAPPENS ...

 ... and generally we hope that it doesn't happen to us.

Friend Rod from up north sent me an email today in which he said:

Those people who bought your house still haven’t been seen. Yesterday there was a major sewage leak near the hall. Swimming banned until 10th December. Today on my walk watched all the rubbish from 3 sacks floating from the wharf towards your place. Going to ring Council. You got out exactly the right time. I have put a clip of the rubbish on Facebook.

I guess that I'm glad too that the sewage overflow didn't occur when we were there and I don't like the idea of the rubbish bags floating from the other direction.

The sewage plant is at the eastern end of the road by the hall that Rod mentioned and the wharf where the rubbish bags have come from is at the western end of the road. Our 'old' house is in the middle. 

I'm glad that the new owners haven't moved in yet and hope that the water quality is improved before they do.

As I said ... shit happens.
