A little happy aongst the sad
I've now found it impossible to watch the news or read the paper regarding the wild fires in Australia.
We were on holiday there in 1983 during ash Wednesday and there is just no explaining about how scary it all is.
On of the big things with fires in Australia is the eucalyptus oil in the trees, as an oil it and just burns and burns like a ball of fire as it moves from tree to tree
but something made me smile today
"The koala friend was rescued by firefighters after it was found roaming a burned up forest 90 miles from Melbourne. The koala friend had burnt paws, but she's doing better now and will hopefully be released back into the wild in about 5 months"
I did what i could and dontated to the australian red cross there are other groups inculding animal specific groups you can dontate to. even if you just miss having coffee today and dontate that, you;ve helped make a difference.
