Missed most of the news today as we were away mowing.
Last count I heard was 173 confirmed dead in the Victorian bushfires. Still a number of blazes burning. If wind direction does not change and containment lines hold there should not be any major losses of property overnight. Still many missing and unaccounted for.
Flood waters receding in North Queensland. Highway opened allowing supplies of food etc through to North.
Still 35 blazes burning in New South Wales.
Currently $30 million has been raised (donated) please pray that it gets to the people who need it and doesn't get tied up in red tape for months (as happened with another disaster's aid in the last couple of years.)
Heading off to bed now. It was very hot and humid today - not great for mowing - and we then had rain come in around 3:30pm. Have a full day of mowing today plus a couple from today that we have not finished. Whilst we love the rain we really need it to be clear tomorrow. Thursday is the boys school swimming carnival so it would be good to have a clear day for that too. Friday is a pupil free day and we are thinking about heading off for a surf in the morning and are hoping not to have to mow in the afternoon but may have to.

So sad about the people who lost their lives, their loved ones or their homes in the horrible fires. But I am thankful, Nicki, that you are OK.
May God help those that are in need!
