Today Melbourne felt less like Melbourne, and more like Delhi. Or Bangkok. The temperature hit 37 degrees, and the air was thick with smoke. Watching from the air-conditioned comfort of the bookshop, I half expected to see a rickshaw or a cow or something pass by the front windows. The smoke only began to clear - at least in Elsternwick - late this

I'm surprised the horses could see where they were going.

I hope Old Man Laughton is springing for the lost $60.

Oh Yee! this is serious stuff! Hope they get it under control.
... and thanks for that link at the end. They actually have a webcam of the city (ofcourse its 1:15 in the morning). Will check it a bit later!

Today the air in Melbourne is much clearer - the bushfires are still raging, but the wind has shifted direction and taken the smoke with it. It's scary stuff indeed.

See all that smoke streaming down to Tasmania? Well, it got there, and it's been blanketing us ever since.

Anyway, Fiona said I should add you to my friends list, so I shall. Because I always do what she says. She's like that.
