There is hope after a bushfire
January 8, 2020
It’s not over yet. The bushfire season has only just started. And more hot weather is just around the corner. But we have had some respite with cooler weather and a smattering of rain. Not enough to put out any fires though. Ironically, the season’s first tropical cyclone is raging in and around Darwin. Even … More There is hope after a bushfire

I had a very quiet, and somewhat sombre New Year’s Eve. It was marred by the spectre of bushfires in the East Gippsland of Victoria. Where I have family living on the edges of licking flames. Fortunately everyone is safe, Thank God. Many were not, suffering devastating losses. It seems Australia ended the last decade … More 2020 New Year, A New Decade
The Lego Master and His Apprentices – Pt 2
December 31, 2019
