Had a wonderful Christmas day, shorts, tshirts and aircon going flat out, 100F. Today we lit the fire, it's 59F and a cold antarctic wind blowing!

Unfortunately 54 homes were lost in a bushfire 3 hours drive from us. :'( http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/great-ocean-road-towns-evacuated-as-fire-hits-coast-homes-20151225-glv0nn.html

Tess, I saw the fires on TV, thankfully the rain will be of some help to the fire fighters.
For once the big drop in temperatures are welcome...

Yeah though the house count is now up to 103, whole streets gone. Poor people.

Poor people indeed. :(

Hannie, what a cute picture. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a happy New Year! Tess, so sad to hear about the fires over there and the losses. I can't imagine anything worse than wildfires. Over here things have been pretty rough with tornadoes, floods, and winter storms. OPR has already received an email from Texas where one of the tornadoes hit asking for our help.

Pat, you are so right. Earthquakes, Fires, Floods, Blizzards.... Nature is busy to be sure.
