Yay! Autumn!!

( Mar. 1st, 2010 01:45 pm)
Yesterday, being the last day of Feb and a lovely cool day to boot, I found myself breathing a big sigh of relief for the passing of the fire season. And what happened? A grass fire on the next hill!! (3minute walk?) So my kids ran down to watch, and the main road was closed and there were fire trucks... *flails* It was like a smiting, I swear! Just as I thought, 'yay, fire-danger is over for this season'...BOOM! There it was. O.o

The firies had it under control quickly, but...yeah.

Yay Autumn!

A drive-by posting cos we've been cut to dail-up till the 15th. Grrr! Just to let you all know that we're ok. The fires were under control by the time I found out about them. The school didn't send the kids home, so I guessed it couldn't have been too exciting. :~P Kids didn't know anything about it. But when I went to hang out some washing later, the sunlight had that orangey sort of bushfire glow, and I could see a thin layer of smoke over the sun (shafts of sunset-like beams coming from the sun) despite the blue sky. Not sure where that was from. :~( Another hot day forecast for tomorrow, and the rest of the week. Everything is going BROWN fast. *sigh*

*wishes she could move to Tassie.*

Yep.  Fecking Fire season.

My eldest (the one with Downs) just called to let me know they were being moved from Hurstbridge to Lower Plenty cos there's a FIRE at Hurstbridge.

o.O

Looked it up on the CFA incident summary page, and it's listed as a grassfire and under control.  Nevertheless... a few days of 35*C and off we go again.  

*HATES Summer*



ETA: ok, a siren just went past so I did a refresh on the incident summary... there's one in the next street!  Right near my kids school!  *wibbles*

*considers packing*

*refreshes page*  Shit, it now says there are 3 firetrucks there.

I'm off to bring the birds in.  :~(
