There'll be bushfires mun, you mark my words
There will without a doubt
We'll all be rooned said Hanrahan
Before the year is out

It's 35C today. The sky is overcast with smoke - I keep walking into the kitchen by reflex to see if I've left something on the stove but it's outside. The sky to the NW is orange with reflected fire. I can hear the sirens of the fire engines every now and then. It reminds me a bit of Lord of the Rings, except the Dark Lord today is nature. This is probably how Tolkein envisaged it in Gondor, except the smoke is coming from the West not the East.

No one else here to share these thoughts with except my cat, hence the posting.
