More Fires

The recent heat wave has moved further east and now affects Adelaide.  Our temperatures have dropped to the mid 30’sC which is a slight relief to us and a major relief to those out fighting the surrounding bush fires.  However we’re not in the clear!
Mid afternoon we had a strong smell of wood smoke through the house followed by the sound of low flying aircraft directly overhead.  Obviously there was a new bushfire nearby.  Upon checking the State Emergency website I noticed a new fire some 3km away.

One near us
The fire appears to be located in scrub land to the west of Highway 56 (Alexander Drive).  I’m assuming we are only hearing fixed wing water bombers overhead as the helicopter bombers will be fill from the lakes at Alta Laguna Park which is between us and the fire.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world Jan informs me many UK families who voted leave will be sitting down to a special Christmas dinner menu this year……. no brussels!
