Great news Ellewoods. Glad to hear your house and animals are all safe. Hope they've got the fire under control now. All the best mate.
Thanks for the offer Canada. Luckily for us anyway it seems to have worked out. I'll have to clean the smoke smell out of the house but beyond that it seems ok. I'll probably see if any of my neighbors need me to put their animals on my place for a while and build fencing for them. I'm also sure someone will need my help repairing their house or building new fencing, barns or chicken coops but that's all regular farm stuff that I like to do anyway so I will probably just be a little more busy then I normally am for a few months.
That's terrific news mate, those firefighters have done a hell of a job. Really pleased it's worked out not so bad for ya.
Haha once again I failed at getting to see an English team live. They were about to take the field for warm ups when I got the call and they weren't going to do any photos or autographs till after the games so it sucked. The only positive was when I thought I had lost everything I was happy that the shirt I was wearing and had not burnt up was my bonus electrical kit which I had on for the game. Beyond that I had a hard time finding to many positives about the situation.
G'day ellewoods. Just got on line after being distracted with other things the past few days - my house goes to auction this coming Saturday. Even though my response is late I was going to add my expressions of concern. You can't have too many friends at a time like this! Luckily, I read through the entire thread, so caught up with the latest. Great to hear you have got through largely unscathed and all the best with whatever rebuilding or clean up you are left with.
A happy ending for you and your animals elle, so glad for you all. Hope most of your neighbours have as good a result.
A bit of tightening in my heart as just loosed, which is a strange sensation as I usually don't care a s**t about other people. I'm all made up for you, great news all is intact. Now go buy those prisoners a round of beers, they deserve it
Close but not this time, "I'll clog it when I want, I'll clog it when I want................................." Lost half a stone in a week & had my chest shaved for free, positives everywhere.
I don't mix in any old 'Ezzle Rurd Vauxhall Tavern Chazz. I'm a noble born blood, part of the exclusive upper crust. I hang out in the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. A place fit for a queen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Vauxhall_Tavern Treat me nice & I may just sign you in. http://rvt.org.uk/
Why did you make me click on them ben!! The mrs just plonked a cuppa down next to me took one look at the computer and said you're getting ****ing weirder.
It is. The current count on my road is 51 structures gone but only 13 are homes. When I was listening to the radio scanner and they were abandoning structure after structure I thought they were talking about homes but I guess it was also barns and things like that. They were able to stop the fire crossing the road so they think it will burn itself out on august 1st. They have already taken all the planes and 1,000 of the firefighters on my road to that Yosemite fire that is growing quickly. No rest at all for those dudes I guess.
