Bath - fires are on my side of the world that I was referring to. Our scanner is set to pick up radio traffic on this end up as far as Warrandyte and Wonga Park down to the Peninsula and across to Tonimbuk (where there is a current threat to the state forest). It's going nuts today. There was something earlier near Healesville and I think that's what I can smell at my place (was just putting laundry out on the line...naughty, but if I wait for DP to get home the rain will have set in - plus, I need him to get us to my horse more than I need the washing out!).
BTW, photos of you and Verity are great! I've got a hankering for the show now...next year!!
ETA:Cee Cee, just saw your post - I have a jar of grated ginger, will that suffice in place of fresh ginger root in the house?? I've been drinking different herbal things all week. I have in front of me a mug of fenugreek (probably overkill, but Oscar's feeding has been so haphazard this last week and even though a decrease in supply will still likely leave him with plenty, I would be devastated if my supply took a dive!) and dried chrysanthemum flowers with a tablespoon of honey (makes my throat feel nice!). I've also got on hand valerian rootlets and lemongrass. Other times I squeeze a whole lemon, couple of pinches of whole cloves and tablespoon of honey - that works lovely last thing before bed. I'll try the ginger, though. I have also GOT to start drinking more water!
