rain and it's effects

Brisbane has had 100 mils of rain in the last 24 hours.  Good for the garden.  Last night I was watching the news on tv when I heard a crash and a rumble.  It was very dark and once I had ascertained it was nothing inside the house with me I went on with my evening. 

This morning I went to pick some mulberrys for my breakfast 

(don't they look nice) and when I looked down the side of the house, I saw that the scaffold for the house next door had sunk and

tipped a whole load of bricks onto my lillies and agapanthus!!  The builder had neglected to tell the brick layer that the land had been filled!!
