I'm fine, with no fires anywhere near me, but it's looking pretty grim for a lot of the country.

I'm way down in the south east of the country - across the strait from Tasmania, one of the few parts of the country not in severe drought because of the coastal climate.

Thank you for thinking about me, love you sis!

It's horrendous - this is very early in the fire season, so I dread to think what late summer will be like.

At the time, I lived very close to the 'Black Saturday' fires of 2009. It can get very scary.
