(17,200 posts)I'm fine, with no fires anywhere near me, but it's looking pretty grim for a lot of the country.
I'm way down in the south east of the country - across the strait from Tasmania, one of the few parts of the country not in severe drought because of the coastal climate.
Thank you for thinking about me, love you sis!
