Hi all,
As some have been asking I am okay just been busy dealing with stuff will elaborate later.

@Former-Member  are you able to post a link to the Wen website?  I searched for it and only came across remnants being sold at top dollar by other companies and individuals.  Got one bottle for $50 coz I didn't want to use anything else.  If I could get it from the bona fide manufacturer I'd much prefer it.

Hang in there @NameUnknown Here if you want to chat and if not here anyway!

Morning @eth feeling the same really. Not up for much right now

Morning @outlander @eth I hope everybody is day is good.

I have a day I dont have to travel around much, just a trip to the train, a walk to the shops and 2 booked sessions.

I am a bit upset about the bushfires in Victoria and NSW. 100 homes destroyed and it is late March. I would have thought the fire dangers would have reduced at theis time of year, but wind can really blow things out of control. I mentioned it was a "bit gusty" last night and then was horrified to see the news.  So glad there was no loss of life and services managing.

Dear @Mazarita Glad you found some "me time" last night and trip is going well.  Yes, Melbourne has changed and become more manic, maybe the old common comparisons between Sydney being fast and Melbourne slow will disappear.  I still am amazed at the growth of the CBD in buildings and the increase in traffic. Talk of having more regional development is happening again in the media.

Wishing a safe trip home.

yes me too @Appleblossom its only a few hrs south of me. its so scary and i feel so sorry for all those families. theres a few charities atm looking for some donations for families that lost everything so im going through my clothes and asking my sisters to do the same thing for their kids and going to donate those and try to get some supplies for them too. its a really tragic event isnt it. 

lets hope everything gets under control soon and everyone can stay safe including emergency personel too

Very Worrisome for a many people. @outlander I know our fireys take their jobs seriously and strategies and equipment keeps improving. So that fires were so out of control in 2 states at the same time is saying a lot about the relative dryness and combustility of the land. 

[outlander]

beautiful flowers @Appleblossom and yes they do their very best. with lacking rain so much its made everything so dry and easy to spread. its starting to look like another 'Black Friday' as they called the last event like this. the weather is crazy, tassie is raining, qld has a tornado warning and rain and nsw and vic are having fires. 

[Appleblossom]

Yes it is exactly the difficulty and unpredicatbility of extreme weather events that is the problem.

A silly lady was complaining that those in charge should be able to manage fires and flash floods better ... but watersheds calulations and weather predictions and statistics can only help so much.  These are local Australian realities.
