My heart goes out to those affected by the fires across Tassie and those in Victoria. There's a total fire-ban in New South Wales tomorrow and no doubt across South Australia too (they've already had several extremely hot fire danger days and more are expected next week). I'm crossing my fingers, sending good thoughts and saying prayers that the fires will be under control soon and that no more occur. I'm not sure if it will work but it doesn't hurt, right?
It makes me wonder if it is a wise decision to drive across to Adelaide next week. I can't change the dates for our trip away not if I want to take the boys with me. We need to be back for medical appointments towards the end of January and preparing for the beginning of the new school year. I'll be hoping and praying that the roads are clear and that there are no fires when we travel. It also makes me wish even more that Mark could go with us. I would feel much happier and safer if he did.

Yikes! O_O Yeah, the fires would make me kinda nervous about driving a long distance too!!! I hope things cool down before you have to leave!!
Poetess, things have cooled down quite nicely at the moment but they are due to heat up again on Monday. Adelaide however is a different story. They're going to have several days in the high 90's and higher :( and we are travelling towards that - yuck!
Wow, that is hot. How terrible about the fires. Hope the heat wave doesn't last too long.
WildflowerWool, it has cooled down for today. In fact there's a pleasant cool breeze right now but tomorrow is another story :(
Most of the fires have settled and have been downgraded but of course the fire fighters are still watching things closely for flare-ups.
