HELLO!

Well done Lee!

Thanks for thinking of us, Tina. Sorry, but yesterday was another 'watch and act' day - we didn't have to do anything but be on full alert.All we could do was monitor the phones and website and scanner, not much else, so I wasn't on here. Today is cool and lovely, and sort of 'normal'!!:D

Robin, I have been keeping up with this, even though I haven't commented much. I do feel for you. Been there, done that, but fortunately have always had another opportunity to move forward. I sincerely hope that something comes your way that you can still get a sense of enjoyment out of as well. Good luck and good wishes. Have just noted what you said about no being proud re a job, if it pays the bills, (sorry, the reply wouldn't let me quote you), Hubby and I have changed jobs many times and consider ourselves 'survivors'. So be it, survivors live again!

LEAVES

Have expanded our experience in another thread. Thanks guys for your kind thoughts. Korky - good job they don't know the score of the game on here! Hehehehe!!!!!

Back home again after a scary little while. We got a warning of the fire through one of our phone apps, and looking outside could see the smoke straight away. We simply had to 'activate our bushfire plan', so we hitched up the camper trailer on one vehicle, loaded up some spare clothes, lots of cool drinks, dog food, phones, chargers, medications etc, etc - anything essential. Headed off in two vehicles and drove for about 10 minutes until we could see the area under threat. The wind was heading straight for us, but fortunately the fire is now controlled. We consider that episode bloody good practice! We still have feirce winds, and thick smoke, and will have to be on watch for tonight. Camper etc still all loaded and connected and sitting in the driveway. PHEW! Thanks for the good thoughs :D

Absolutely beautiful, well done bfb, good choice, Richard!

Return good wishes to you and yours, too, Tina. Have a great 2013!

My resolution is simple - GET OUT OF IA MODE!!!! But not so technically so that I lose the fun I have in 'happysnapping'. There are many things I'd like to have a go at - beautiful landscapes, but we have to travel so far to get something different from what we see in our local area. Better composed portraits - but who of, Kandy Kobi and Kelly? One new theme I could try is mono. It's something I never think of, but I love looking at some of the pictures on here, so maybe I can find some suitable subjects around, we'll see.

Ooh, yes, brilliant choice, BP!! Well done Fuji, and a well deserved tribute to your actions in this forum. :D

Good of you to at least help spread the word, Dave. Our 3 are OK this chrissie - just had the usual diet for dogs in this house - braised turkey hindquarter and specialised doggie chocs!
