Saw on the news last night the extreme weather some of you are having over there in the US. Hope you're all ok. You are having some serious cold The footage of ice and snow is amazing.

Am also thinking about the people in Vic with the bushfires. Am very sad and hope there are no more homes lost or people traumatised.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the Canberra bushfires (http://www.abc.net.au/canberra/bushfires/) , so we are all remembering the horror of that day. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone in Victoria and southern NSW today - I heard last night they are evacuating Thredbo (one of our ski resorts).

Hope you are all ok.
