So I don't know if anywhere other than Australia gets news about.. well.. Australia! But yes, we are pretty much on fire atm. literally! This >> http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_conte.....cfm?cat_id=683 has a google map of all fire situation at present in NSW (it updates regularly, so may be more/less depending on when you look at it)
Anyways, a few days ago we had a nation wide high temp average record. Most of the country was at least 40C~! Pretty damn hot! Thats when most fires decided to rage on every one and cause mass destruction of land. The temp here in the shade of our back verandah reached 47C X__x my poor chickens were almost roasting!
The bushfire only 15mins away from here is still marked as "Out of control" and has burned up nearly 9000 ha of land so far. Theres another REALLY epic one that is under control atm in South Australia that burned over 176939 ha of land!! frikken HUGE.. (you can see the black marked areas on the map I linked if you zoom in)
Anyways, today is expected to be rather epic hot again and reach "catastrophic" fire danger levels.. but not *quite* as bad as the other day... so hoping fires don't rage out of control even more... it's totally opposite to last year... most of the state was flooding this time of year!! X"S
Other news... been sewing heaps to send away "Kaleido" to his new owner! I am making a new suit, hands and feet to fit them =) After that I can start catching up of the other commissions I have on before I begin to take actual orders for more fursuits!
Last week crazy and I drilled holes in the ceiling to wire up speakers around the lounge room ^__^ havent had the speakers set up properly for ages! We also finally hooked up the wii and xbox360 to the projector.. havent had them on in over a year! X"D I am hoping to get to actually play some games again this year, I have so many I've yet to even start!! But last year was epic busy, I never found time for any games ;__;
Got some eggs incubating atm! 12 chickens and 8 quail! I have suspision the quail eggs aren't fertilized though.. but I guess I'll find out! I candled the chicken ones and they defiantly are under way! I can't wait to find out what they are! (mix and match chooks from crazy's mum's place) X"D
That's it for now!!

Stay safe, eh?

Coming from the NT I don't know much about your local fuel loads but those kind of temperatures will multiply fire danger as heat is a part of the fire triangle.
Also congrats on beating our local max (about 42-43 degrees C) I have respect for folks who go through that.
