With any luck.

Right into you sinuses usually.

What is the plural of sinus anyway?

Hmmm.... Could explain their commanding presence.

And the tablets.

Argh! Hayfever! die! Blows nose.

Argh! Wildfire droppings! Blows nose.

(Speaking of which, had oodles of fun yesterday helping my friend evacuate her horses. Horses do NOT LIKE FIRE.)

MMmm, yes I should think not! Who does like bushfire? It is scary when you are out in the bush somewhere and there are fires even remotely nearby, not even the coast is safe!

Most animals don't like fire....but the horses I have had to help with in fires have evacuated themselves, usually all over the one place it was safe to walk.

I think that this year we are going to be in for a big big barbeque of bushland, forest and grazing country animals. If you like your roadkill in three dimensions and barbequed come to sunny Oz.

PS. For those who don't know Oz we can have a blazing holocaust in Sydney and the other state capitals may have nothing to contend with. From London to Bristol is 80 miles, but its 600 from Sydney town to Melbourne. We have had fires that burned from Sydney to Melbourne. My father fought the one in 1936/7 and I think that there was another that nearly reached all the way about 20-30years ago. Anyway, a few good sparks and a good northerly and Oz will have a fire sale. Hopefully we don't get another Ash Wednesday again.

How are the fires in Merka going atm? Are they still largely out of control?

We had land that almost was burnt in Ash Wednesday. I know someone who lost a lot back then.

At the risk of being on topic, there's a lot of toast in Coupland's new book, THE GUM THIEF-
actually, there's quite a bit of scotch, too...

Reminds me of a short story called The Great Chewing Gum Rescue.

How about Jean Van Leeuwen's 'The Great Cheese Conspiracy'? Although as a kid I always thought 'The Great Christmas Kidnapping Caper' was funnier.

That wasn't remotely on topic, was it? Oh well, if you've got 5-7 yr olds around, read these books aloud to them. They laugh their little you-know-whats off.

And there's always 'The Magic Pudding'

Never got into that one.

LOVE the magic pudding! The man was a genius.
