Ta, FB.
It didn't get as hot as expected today, fortunately. We even got a bit of rain this morning, but it had dried up by lunch time.
The gale-force winds today were the main danger. It brought down trees and powerlines. It certainly didn't help the fires any.
Tomorrow is supposed to be much cooler, although they predict more strong winds.
I'm longing for this summer to be over. I can't imagine what it must be like for the people who keep having to evacuate their towns.

It's been raining! Real rain (although light) NOT drizzle. 
In fact it's chilly enough, as I type, to have the heater on. 
There are still fires burning, but they're all contained.

I was at the Sound relief concert on Saturday. AWESOME!!
During the concert it bucketed down. They announced that the last of the fires were finally out. What a moment. A stadium full of 80,000 people there to raise money for the bush fire appeal, it buckets down all day and the fires finally go out.
The music was pretty damn good too.

Yes, I think that's what one of my work-mates meant to say when she said 'Synchronicity'.
