After The November Fires

At last we are experiencing some warm weather. In the backyard it gets to about 28 in the afternoon and humidity around 60%. Pool is usually close to 28 degrees by mid afternoon and very pleasant indeed.

On a recent bike ride through areas affected by the November bushfires around here we can now see some regrowth occurring. Incredible thing is our mother nature.


This photo again shows just how close the fire got to some people's homes.






Also great to here that temps are cooling off down in Victoria and there have been some substantial falls of rain too which has allowed firefighters to get well on top of the many bushfires!

On a sadder note, one of our next door neighbours passed away on Thursday after an 18 month battle with cancer. Marcia had been in her home a couple of months longer than we have.

Yep great to have the rain, we only hope that it will continue and start to refill the dams. Good to talk to you on Sat, this change of weather certainly gave me this rotten head cold. By the way saw young Tamara Beech yesterday at an intimo lingerie party she had just had a sleepover at Kate and Arjs. Tam is a friend of one of the girls I work withs daughter. That doesn't sound very good english.
