It is unheard of here as well at this level. The politicians don’t want to talk about it and all the work of fighting the fires is mainly being done by volunteers. This is only going to get worse and the lollies are going to have to get their act together.

Back to bed, again.
Like lots of other people I am finding the smoke from the fires debilitating. Lots of just sitting or back to bed. But I have risked the smoke a couple of times to see my grand daughters receive prizes for their school work. I also keep surfing the internet and finding books. A little while ...

Yes I agree. Here it becomes more difficult to breath with each passing day. That makes it very real and our politicians have their heads buried in the sand.

Lost
It is hot, dry and windy. We are enveloped in smoke, yet again. My asthma is in full swing and I can't stop coughing. I read a poem once by Elizabeth Bishop, called "One Art". (It is copyright so I can't print it here.) It describes how we deal with loss. How little by little we accept it....

Next Week
Next week sees that start of Advent and we will be into the mainstream of the Xmas parties and social crush. I hope the next few days go slowly so that I can just float into this. Not much hope I think. The parties start this Sunday night and then it is just full on from then onto the new yea...

My husband thinks it would be a good idea if I could make his Xmas cards for this year so my little bit of enjoyable stitching is being transformed into a production line. As yet he hasn't given me a list of how many he wants. I wait with baited breath!

He is pretty good with the sewing machine, repairing sails, making boat covers, wrecking my machine! I don’t think want him near my embroidery.

Koala Mittens
Once again I have over estimated my abilities to complete a project. I think I need to use that "divide by 2" rules I spoke about when I was making the placemats. Believe it or not there is a lot of work in these mittens. Having to sew "french seams" added more work than you could imagine. Th...

Trial of Food Throw
So I have finished the first trial of Debbie's Food Throw and it looks really good. With Xmas coming I can see it being really handy. Why Xmas? Well we have lots of uninvited guests visiting our Xmas tables in the form of those horrible flys. You normally appoint a kid to keep waving them...

Keeping Cool
I am trying to stay in the airconditioning. The fires are still burning all over the place and the air is heavy with smoke. I see it has even found it's way across the Tasman to N.Z.! One thing it has done is give us some spectacular vistas. (I never realised how difficult it is to take a p...
We will have to write an obtuse poem about some of those stitches so that future embroiderers can nod their heads at the puzzle we have set.

Re- reading
Every year since my early 20's, when I first read this book, I re-read "Lord of the Rings". (I have a beautiful book that is printed on rice paper which I bought back in the 1970's) This came about after a chance meeting with Donald Swann, who told me he re-read the book every September. ...

For some reason I am having trouble visualising what I want to do and to make matters worse I reversed everything.

I must admit that everyone is on alert with these fires. They can strike so quickly and you know you could be on your own. Climate change is real.
