Cold dinner on a hot day & bushfire tragedy!





Silly but true. On Saturday 7 February 2009 we had record heat- over 114*F and massive bush fires. So, for dinner, GM & I had the above for dinner. Cold meat, boiled egg, beetroot, pineapple,mushrooms and potato salad. Funny, but good for a horribly hot day.
Some of the bush fires are about an hour north from here. This is the Main Page of The Herald Sun newspaper. There is an interactive map that shows you where the fires are. It is scary, but a fact of life here. The whole thing is very emotional, and sad as can be. There have been over 170 deaths so far, and they are guesstimating there will be over 300 by the end of the fires. Outrageous!
Anyway, I hope all is well, and that life is good in your worlds!

That looks like the sort of salads I remember from being a kid in summer. Hmmm ...

The fires are so scary, and continue to be scary
