That’s terrible news K Atie, I’ve been so busy I haven’t been watching the news programs. Stay wary and safe.

I’m off on our cruise today so wishing you all a happy and safe Christmas.

Judy thank you . It seems not much on the news . Enjoy your cruise . Lots of embers and wind changes so far. The actual sun was red .. not a glow around it like normal . It’s very intense then the wind calms down and all is ok .

Judy,special wishes and happy sailing - I am probably too late with this message, but you will perhaps get it sometime.

One of our colleagues at work has just come off a working voyage (42 days) crewing on a tall ship in the Antarctica - I hope your holiday is warmer, less hard work and calmer than her trip!!

K Atie the colour of the skies over here are telling us that the fire is still raging. Take care.

Marina it’s been a very beastly day . A beastly day and the fire came out of the mountains but crews worked hard . There is more than 10100 ha burnt . We had both black large embers and white embers all day . Listening to the fire radio is gruelling , but necessary . At one stage the sun was actually red . Not looking forward to seeing the red glow tonight . Unfortunately this will be a lot for weeks .

Not good at all KAtie. Fire is dreadful.

Judy, enjoy your cruise and enjoy being spoiled rotten.

K Atie, we saw that red sun. Amazing. Stay safe and be ready to leave. Fire is so unpredictable.
We all know Judy will be well prepared and will be having a well deserved holiday. This is a special Cruise for Xmas and the New Year so go for it Judy.

Yes the red sun was quite amazing. This morning DS goes out on a fire tanker , hopefully he is with who he knows . Late last night Halls Gap and Pamonal were evacuated! The fire was flat out heading their way . GF and I are texting till very late last night .reassuring and having a few laughs . This morning is cold and cloudy . Another day .. I really need to shop and do I take all the stuff out of my car to do this !

I did the shopping and managed to see a lot of people. A few Xmas presents too. So tired I stopped on way home and slept .. h he one to realise that shopping it away . Then bed , I managed to cook boys dinner ! The bbq would not work . DS was with everyone he knew and the talk is the fire will come out on Xmas Boxing Day with the weather being so bad . At the moment the fire front is 60ks long and winds are 60-80  in speed ( I’ll have to check this info ) so that’s huge . There’s no dought we are on for some drama ..let’s pray the weather changes . I am very stressed .
