I'm alive!

Wondering why The Aussie Hermit hasn’t emailed all week?

Let me tell you a story…

A couple of weeks ago I moved from Canberra to a new hermit hole near Byron Bay.

And, everything was going swimmingly for the first few days.

We unpacked.

We got settled.

And we got into a routine.

Then it started to rain.

And rain.

And rain.

And then on Monday morning we woke to find a literal sea of water at the edge of our back step.

And then as the rain intensified over the day it started to rise more.

And more.

And more.

To the point where the water was waste deep in our back yard.

And it wasn’t stagnant either.

It was a torrential tsunami of water destroying everything in its path.

Apparently, it was a one in 10,000 year event.

The good news is, we were one of the lucky ones.

The water stopped about 2 inches from coming inside because our house is built quite high.

The bad news is, the rest of our town (and surrounding towns) weren’t so lucky.

In a few days I’ll send you some videos and photos of the devastation. I’m still on limited internet right now so can’t upload anything.

But it honestly looks likes a war zone down here.

Everyone has basically thrown half their stuff onto the street because it’s all waterlogged/full of mud.

Apparently, in Lismore, it’s even worse as the whole town was under water.

I’m talkin’ two stories deep.

Crazy.

Anyway…

Hopefully I’ll be back to sending regular emails from today.

I just had to spend the last week cleaning up all the mud.

I’ve never seen so much mud.

3 inches thick all over the driveway, in our pool and 4 sheds.

It took us about 50 man hours of labour to move it all.

With that being said…

I’ve got something new I’m thinking of launching.

Basically, it’s like a private forum (off social media) that enables us to talk about whatever we want.

Meaning, it’ll be uncensored and allow us to talk about any type of political view or conspiracy theory without the fear of being booted off by some tech overlords.

Also, it’ll be a forum where I provide trainings to help you get more clients.

And the best part is, it’ll be all free.

Let me know if you’d like a place like that with quick "yes" reply to email.
