Too close for comfort


Some of you know my friend Lyndall, at Fingal Bay.  (Winifred, it was through her friend in Cirencester that I met you and Roy.)  This bushfire came so close to her home on Sunday she packed her vital papers and was ready to evacuate, though in the end did not need to.  When I spoke to her the following day she was still trembling.

We are also at risk, living in the bush as we do, and this season is high risk for bushfires. All householders are warned to have a fire plan.  I'm constantly aware there could be an outbreak at any moment. 

And 80 cars were burnt out in the middle of Sydney, right next door to where I'm going to see Andre Rieu tomorrow night!


The weather is quite mad.  One day it's 37 degrees, the next 20.  We are forever putting on/taking off clothes and bedclothes.

Oh poor Lyndall I hope she is alright now though I suspect she will always feel threatened in the 'high risk' times. Glad to hear you are going to see Andre Rieu: after you told me about him a long time ago I had never heard of him so of course looked him up and introduced my granddaughter to him and she is completely hooked and listen through her headphones all the time she is doing her homework.I said I would say 'thank you' to you when I remembered - so there I remembered. Enjoy! xx
