Help arriving

Help arriving
A convoy of fire fighting trucks arriving today from interstate Victoria, to assist with the large (UPDATED AM 4/12 no-w >47,000 ha) bush fire, currently out of control, just 10 km or so from our residence. At a public briefing today, the Rural Fire Service speaker said “We can’t stop this fire. It is so dry out in the bush, it will keep jumping over our control lines.” He added that only good rain (we're in a drought) can stop it totally. Meanwhile, there also are many aircraft assisting with control. (see PiPs for more images). The official Rural Fire Service site, showing this and other fires is tinyurl.com/y9ox63jq .

My lovely wife Pauline has resumed oncology treatment this week, following an operation several weeks ago. With that and the fire (and the possibility that we may have to move away for safety), it seems probable that I shall be a very irregular visitor to ipernity for a while. [UPDATE AM 4/12 We are packing and shall be leaving later today, hopefully to make a return soon]

Wow, wow, wow...oh George...I'm really frightened for you!!!! I know what it's like to have a fire close to home, but in my case the fire was 7.4 km away and the winds were high and pointed at us...it was terrifying to be so close to the "GET OUT" line. Oh I'm so worried for you...it's so scary and you guys don't need any worries on top of everything else right now. I've got my fingers crossed!!

BTW, a fine picture nonetheless!

When I read this, I can only laboriously suppress my anger that Mr. Trump is getting out of the international climate protection agreement. I keep my fingers crossed for you that everything is going well for you personally.

Blumin Heck George. Hope you are safe. We have been following the fire on our TV. I had not realised that it would be so near your home. -Don't worry about Ipernity -keep safe and I hope you can return to a perfect home again soon.

Hope too that Pauline is proceeds OK with her treatment and all goes well.
