OMG the heat was horrendous here too kat... got to 43 this afternoon. Had a xmas party in a park, for FIL (he's a snr sgt in VicPol) and although it was great, the heat really bothered the kids. Anneliese has finally conked out thank god. She was just so grumpy, but so hot... its dropped down to 24 outside now!! And looks like rain...

Some idiot lit some fires near us (right near Roryrory) in Glenroy over night, so had the firies out fighting that... Dont they have enought to do without idiots making more work for them??

The Age website (just add dot com dot au) has news about the fires, that where i've been getting my updates from. They're saying these fires may burn for months...
