Hi Steff. The beer goggles helped, but it was still 4 minutes after your post. Mamya must be tied up with her Night Night Song post.

How's the weather / fires ?, and more importantly, how's Mr.S.?

Well done, twix.

Hiya Steff, are all the bush fires out now ?

[Mamyalynne]

Hi all xxx

Well solved Twix x

morning Tony ...think mamya is tied up with her haggis !!

I think most of the fires are pretty much out now, there's been widespread rains which will help ...now its just picking up the pieces and starting again ...tragic.

Mr S is going ok, not making great leaps forward though ...he's waiting till early Feb before he begins treatment again, just watching nothing gets going in his chest again ...just a wait and see situation really - thanks

[Mamyalynne]

Don't tie me to a Haggis, they may be small but they run fast.

Best wishes for further treatment x

I think most of the fires are pretty much out now,
