All Queensland based friends seem to have come through the terrible flooding okay but now - there's a cyclone on it's way and it's heading straight for Cairns where our good friends Chris and Rebecca live.
Chris emailed and sounded very upbeat but, truth be known, they are directly in the path of the cyclone and so let's hope they come through it safely.
Chris is pictured here on his first visit to Felixstowe Scribblers.
