I so enjoy your annual gratitude list and your book was a joy to read. That’s two from my list- two more are a white Thanksgiving day with plenty of snow on the ground, and friends from near and far. The happiest of days to you and your lovely partner, Brian!

Been doing a lot of fire season preparation. Clearing up windfall, mowing paddocks without stock etc

Cool currently but we have already had some hot days not far off 40C.

Looks like it might be a bad fire season in some parts.

But the forecast last year was for a hot summer. We ended up with mostly cool and wet.
