Alicia: good to hear you are fine.. and that your family is ok.. Scary stuff..

Susan: wow 8.. a big girl now

No Rain at all for us..Warmish outside.. more steamy I think.. We did get a downpour that lasted abut 5 mins last night but thats it. I am happy to send any rain we get down south to put those fires out..

Simon is going to ring his brother today cus they live in Townsville.. I heard Townsville is all cut off.. His parents have gone on holidays down south.. He rang them today and they are in NSW somewhere.. It was 41c at 5pm.. why would you travel there knowing it was that hot *slap*
