today it was a rainy 24 degrees! a big change from the heat we have had for most of January and the heatwave that set in February. Sydney had 4 days with temps over 38 degress and it was 40 here for 2 days. The bottom half of our country scorched while some of the top was under metres of water??? Australia can produce some of the most powerful weather, especially in summer. On the weekend fires started in VIC and in NSW. Sadly in VIC they were fires like no one else had ever seen, raging fires that stood over 50 to 80m tall, they took homes leaving over 5000 homeless and killed at least 173 people. I feel for the people that just wanted to save their memories and their homes, they became trapped with no idea of the horrific bushfire blazing towards them.the picture above will forever give me goosebumps.
after seeing all the sadness on the news I will remember that while life may seem tough with problems, nothing is more precious than being alive

Thinking of you all Kirsten x x x
The worst part of all may be that these fires were deliberately lit - the pain caused by such people. It is one of those times in my life that I hate turning of the news as the death toll continues to rise.
