You sound like @Sam Wyer  I'm watching Judge Judy.  You know it's cold out because both cats are snuggled up, one on each arm.  I'm relaxing, knowing I have five days off  Oh, and someone sent me a block of cheese today  

So you have something to survive on in the event of snowpocalpyse.

Thanks, Gary

Hope all's good with you, as well. And the rest of the CoTT crew.

Been a bit busy for the past few weeks, but I'll try and at least show my face on the odd occasion over the festive season.  

 

Good to hear from you, Marty.

I hate when the livestock escape from their train car.

Is it safe where you are... are they still on the other side of the continent?  

The vast majority of the fires are on the other side of the country. There have been several fires near me but nothing compared to the millions of hectares destroyed in the eastern states. That being said, there are fires all across Western Australia - we are one third of the continent, about the same size as one third of continental US. The map is covered in 51 fires, luckily all at advice level. There is a total fire ban in place that has been running for a couple of weeks. The closest fire is currently 20km away although a fire alarm has gone off at one of the primary schools 7km away. 

Currently safe, subject to the usual fire season changes

My friend's sisters are packed up and going to the coast to stay with relatives.  Fingers crossed they don't lose their houses, but at least they're safe. 

There are some hassles with the roads. Some of the main highways have been closed. Keeping fingers crossed for them

That looks good... thinking about dinner here.

Had a fire less than 1km away today. A million fire trucks on hand and it still covered a fair bit of territory.

I saw the fire while I was finishing up my shopping. I will let you in on a little secret, while I was shopping I saw some slippers on sale (heavy discount) and bought them for my nephew.

Bad uncle

I wish they came in adult foot sizes

Soooo, I wrote eight  short stories for the cookbook, one for Halloween, one for the anthology and finished a series.  Time to relax....and think about next year. Sci-fi or murder mystery? Decisions, decisions.

Congrats, Adi. Those are great accomplishments! Can't rest on your laurels, though... okay, maybe for a few days.   A murder mystery sounds good...

Sigh... you spoilt it now... no point reading it if we know the Author did it

Don't do that. I probably overcompensated.   Insanity.
