[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 82080, member: 1991"] G'day everyone. It's been weird today, tidying up clothes we were wearing last week and over the weekend, like a zip-up jacket, my warm padded coat and skivvies. Today it is so hot I'm in my summer cheesecloth rag of a dress, hiding from the heat. And only last weekend we were rugged up in scarves, hats and coats. Today the sky is a searing enamel blue, singed at the edges by fires. Yesterday was Day 1 of the bushfire season, and they were fighting fires from Sunday. A house has gone north of Sydney as well as other property and between us and the next village a lot of bushland has been burned. That patch seems to go up every time we have a hot summer long weekend, or school holidays. Almost certainly kids, trying to play house or having their own illegal bonfire. And the supertanker choppers aren't in the country yet. The bogong moths are getting in all over the place. Our house is fairly well sealed, but every time someone comes in a door, we get hitchhikers. They are worst in the afternoons and mornings, flying everywhere at sunset. Anyone riding a motorbike - keep your mouth closed and your visor down! The hot winds have been still today but will return tomorrow. Any fires not out are in danger of being whipped up again as we will have high summer temperatures tomorrow, close to 100F or more. I love summer, but I don't like fires. We have been very busy, we need to fireproof our property. I might light a small fire in the pizza oven tonight, to clear some of the larger sticks. And maybe cook a pizza - or something tasty. Why waste the fuel? I just need to make sure they haven't declared a Total Fire Ban, which they may have in our area, with the fire so close. They almost certainly will declare one tomorrow. Still, it is a beautiful day otherwise. Enjoy your Tuesday. Marg [/QUOTE]
