Diabolical Clay

Tracey from Why Bother, as part of her Easter Greetings to the Bloggiverse created this awesome piece of blingery..

To say that I am in total awe of her skills would be a massive understatement…

I am also extremely indebted to Tracey because I have reached the age of 42 and I only just now have found out where the easter eggs came from..

Thankyou Tracey.. Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!

You can see more wordless wednesdays here… Yay!!!

This Map shows the fires that are burning around the state.
Going:
Fire is spreading in one or more directions. Effective control strategies are not in place for the entire perimeter.

Contained:
Whole of fire perimeter is behind identifiable control lines. The fire is not out, active fire may be within the perimeter. Firefighting activities continue to extinguish the fire. The fire could breach control lines under difficult weather conditions

Patrol:
Fire is at a stage where firefighting resources are only required for patrol purposes

The red triangle in the middle of the map is the fire that has been worrying us.. But as you can see from this sky-shot today is a much nicer day, weather wise. It has started to drizzle as I write this. So fingers crossed people, that the drizzle turns into rain and helps our firies out..

cheers kim xx

edited to add.. the fire is now contained and it is still drizzling.. yay

Phew!!! luckily the strong winds forecast for this afternoon haven’t arrived ,Yet….

This is the view from the western side of my house. all my “weather comes from the west”

This is the smoke from a big fire roughly 30 or so kilometres away.. that is “as the crow flies” or as the fucking embers float, whichever way you like to look at it.. It is too farking close..

All is well at the moment.Even though it is still a stinking hot 34 degrees at 8.30 pm. (and that is just wrong…)
It is very still and the strong and gusty nor westerlies haven’t arrived..

Yay…( I know I said that twice) but it IS hot..

So at the moment all is quiet on the Western Front…

Yay!!! Here are my winners for this week.. You can see more Weekly winners at Lotus’ aka Sarcastic mom.. WooHoo!!!!
