But luckily we have not needed to contend with a fire.My heart goes out to all those affected. And to all those animals lost, injured and helpless I ray for their safety.Bishop Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124543757872721665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-77542674463606081842009-02-09T20:28:00.000+11:002009-02-09T20:28:00.000+11:00oh how could i forget the yarn! thanks for the rem...oh how could i forget the yarn! thanks for the reminder RR :)DrKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758129985662532518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-38698154179907760912009-02-09T15:31:00.000+11:002009-02-09T15:31:00.000+11:00My parents-in-law are in Bendigo and their suburb ...My parents-in-law are in Bendigo and their suburb was hit in the fires. We currently can't contact them and we are very, very worried.<BR/><BR/>And my parents lost their eaves with all the rain they received in Cairns over the weekend.<BR/><BR/>It's even more of a disaster when you are waiting for a phone call, and worrying yourself sick over people who matter to you.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854689952896339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-88833587160582952392009-02-09T14:08:00.000+11:002009-02-09T14:08:00.000+11:00Oh, a full on writing course - sounds fabulous.

I just did a 1.5 hour session on grammar and I loved it (another session tomorrow).<BR/><BR/>You probably need a "grab bag" - passports, insurance papers, photos/negatives, valuables and of course special yarn and sticks. I don't have any of that stuff together and really think I should, even though it is unlikely I'd ever need it.Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-41318283436591797152009-02-09T11:06:00.001+11:002009-02-09T11:06:00.001+11:00ps monkey looks gorgeous!!ps monkey looks gorgeous!!Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-46352418203384643662009-02-09T11:06:00.000+11:002009-02-09T11:06:00.000+11:00Wonderful post Kylie (and I love the Trent and the...Wonderful post Kylie (and I love the Trent and the dogs photo!).<BR/><BR/>When I imagine losing everything, I start to feel all zen about things and feel that if we have nothing, we lose nothing. But of course it really doesn't work that way.<BR/><BR/>Sean mentioned yesterday that your area is prime fire location. That scares me.Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-29995675439871718322009-02-09T10:07:00.000+11:002009-02-09T10:07:00.000+11:00oh god no, its a complete nightmare and watching p...oh god no, its a complete nightmare and watching people suffering is just horrendous. they were talking about 'rebuilding'in the same place this morning, im not sure i would have that strength!DrKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758129985662532518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27355833.post-46224510726723500192009-02-09T09:55:00.000+11:002009-02-09T09:55:00.000+11:00Your post reminds me about the marine & coasta...Your post reminds me about the marine & coastal law course I took in college, in which the professor began by telling us as far back as the Bible you could find the instructions not to build your house on sand, and thousands of years later people still haven't learned. It's sort of the same thing. Nature is going to do what Nature is going to do. And yet people still build their houses right on the beach.<BR/><BR/>Still. You hope they don't die because of it in the end, though.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.com
