Is it the end of summer? Surely not.
Yet this morning, it was cool enough in my kitchen for me to bring the heater out!
At least there are no fires anywhere. The last few Christmases before we moved from Australia to NZ were really smokey from fires burning nearby. I can't imagine what it would be like having a massive fire bearing down on you. Even living in Sydney during the time it was ringed by fire with the sky completely covered in smoke and ash, I never felt unsafe. Maybe it's because the CBD was nearby and fires never really get that close to cities. But to be out in the wilds ... I just can't imagine it.
My heart goes out to my prior adopted home and the massive loss of life there.
