Saturday, middle of Southern Hemisphere summer

43 in melbourne today and worse in the bush...maximum fire warning ...for the moment it is still outside but strong winds are also predicted in the afternoon...not as bad as Black Saturday last year but pretty grim nonetheless.

Why would towns like Horsham be under alertt It's in the middle of miles and miles of cleared cropping land isn't it?

Stubble and dry pasture still burns ...they dont clear 100% of trees ...

I meant it's not backing onto and surrounded byheavily forested hills. From memory the place looks like a billiard table.

Regardless, the fact that not much has been done for bushfire abatement since feb is pretty sad.

The fires last year burnt out the beautiful Horsham golf course...plenty of abatment activity has happened qmy

So did you get the attractive blonde to fan you all night?

Incase you were wondering what the Nein team were up to.

My first ever live T20 in the offing tonight - and it's suddenly like winter. The Gods are obviously telling me it's a sh!te game not worth my time.
