Fuck bushfire season in its stupid arse.

We're okay, and it looks like we'll stay that way, there are fires nearby but they're small and far enough away that as long as the cool change does turn up tonight we'll be fine. It's pretty smoky, but that's the worst of it at the moment. But fuck, this sucks.

Thanks Bella. It's just nosedived from 45ish to around 29 in about twenty minutes, so I think we're all good here though. There's heaps of little grass fires springing up, as they do, but the worst is over for us, touch wood.

Looks like a standard Beijing day to me...

Lordy! I am just catching up on the news... shit!

My previous comment must have seemed so flippant, many apologies.

No, no, it's all good. To be honest, at that point we didn't even have any idea just how epic this was turning out to be... we just presumed the worst of it was blowing in from the Bunyip fire - we knew, obviously, about the smaller fire in Ferntree Gully, because that was the one we were watching anxiously, but the rest of it wasn't really on the radar yet. It's all good. We're safe, and so are our friends and family.
