Hey there,

I just want to ask if you can send some good thoughts to the areas affected by the bushfires in Australia.

Theav-are you affected by the ashes that were raining down in Canberra???
Postiechic-how is the visibility in Melbourne?

I don't know if we have any lurkers from the affected areas of Vic but if you're lurking..take care of yourselves!

To the firefighters battling the blazes-I hope you get some rest in the next 24hrs as they said it's still a long battle & thanks for doing the job!!!
