Good Morning. NYE here and so it continues ,HOT and bushfires. It is 8.30a.m we are already at 30 C and suppose to reach 42C
ANother volunteer firefighter lost their life yesterday. This was further south of me. A lot of holiday areas have been evacuated all around, north and south of me. Our NYE fireworks have been cancelled this year (the decision was made yesterday afternoon) because of the extremely dry conditions and predicted strong winds and I know a lot of other towns have done the same. Some towns are donating the money they would have spent on the fireworks to the Fire Services. BUT Sydney's main one, last I heard, is still going ahead. A lot of ppl are not happy with that, saying a waste of $$$ ( $1 million just for the fireworks ) that could be spent elsewhere helping those in need, especially in times like now with the unprecedented fires just about everywhere and the longer than normal drought,leaving so many destitute.Carl @carma WOW yes it is hard to imagine Marley will be 24. They do grow up fast, don't they.And what a beautiful young lady she has grown into. You must be one very proud Grandfather.
