We haven't got that rain. Just a bit of a sprinkle. However the first part of the front with the gale-force hot northerlies went by in the night without incident. Now it's calm again. Waiting for the change.
Oops! spoke too soon. The wind has picked up and it's still from the North and it's fierce. The change should be here soon. Maybe it will rain.
My daughter is staying at home. She's thought it out. The children have to stay too -- the school buses have been cancelled. They're keen to resume normal life and if that includes surviving a fire that's a bit less aggressive than Black Saturday's ones -- then they're ready.

Stay safe Sandra. It looks good for travel after tomorrow. Let me know if you are heading West at all. Maybe we could have a picnic together. In the rain!!! That would be something.
Cheers, Joy
