So. It’s hot, bloody hot actually. 44.1 degrees outside (that’s proper temperature, not Fahrenheit) and I’m typing away. Oooh - what’s this? Nigel has posted a comment. So I write a little reply explaining how fires are a major part of living in Australia, post it and forget.

Fast forward three days. What’s this? An e-mail from Rae! “Check the question Nigel actually asked.”

Yes Nigel. We have flies. Lot’s of them. Hopefully they will all burn up in the fires, just as hopefully I will learn to read one day.

Did I mention it was hot?
