Busy little bees

Hey everyone, sorry its been ages since we posted. Life is pretty manic for us both right now!


We'll do a proper update soon enough, but just wanted to shre what is the big story in melbourne right now - the bushfires.


Theya re claiming these fires to be the worst in memory, with unimaginably large blazes roaring across the countryside. It's thought that the front of the fire will reach 90km across today, and over 800,000hectares have been burned already.


Here's a pic from the NASA website of Victoria from space, taken just this morning. A picture says a thousand words.

We woke this morning with thick throats, feeling like we'd been hit with a ton of bricks, and looked out the window to a very surreal sight - yellow fog. The house stinks, and it is heading up to 38c today. Perfect weather for a christmas party methinks ;o)

truly scorchio!

Wow! Do you rememer when we drove up into the Dandelongs.. (or 'DingleDangles'..) (I can never remember the correct name!)... and we saw smoke from fires and these were fires purposefully started to try and curtail the uncrontrolled fires.... and now you are experiencing the predictions made then about climate changes!
