Wild Nights and Eerie Mornings

Ok .. it has been an anxious few days. M has been in constant contact with his sister, mum and other assorted members of his family while they wait out the ever encroaching fires, on the brink of deciding whether to go or to stay.

M's family has already suffered loss in Marysville, so our hearts go out to all the people affected by this our worst natural disaster!!

Time to put aside our prejudices and rally behind our fellowmen. Given the overwhelming efforts of support and rescue, I am saddened at the loss but proud to be living in this country!!
