Finger's crossed.

.

Another 'interesting' day.

Isn't that the Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times"?

With no rain greater than 1mm since mid December and the country side dried by a procession of high temperature days, fire danger is extreme. The last burst of over 40°C days was still. Today will be windy.

Here's hoping that it all passes safely.

Brown and crunchy is depressing, but it is better than black and dead.

  3. Margaret's put a table in the front garden, over her favourite rose. Will stop sunburn but whether it will help with a hot, dry wind is anyone's guess.

  4. Even here in the winter for us, it has been almost utterly dry and warm. It was 70 degrees all week in February here. Unheard of. At least we'll get a break because come Sunday afternoon it is supposed to drop and not get above 15F for the week after.

    Watch out for the fires. We've had several already and with some 100 mph winds driving them, they move fast.

    Good luck and I'll think cool and calm at you!

  7. I gather that bush fires are raging around Australia. I'm really hoping that things cool off and get wet over there.
