So the mormons are claiming that their fasting and praying last Sunday resulted in rain falling in Australia? That is nothing but a load of mouldy old fly-blown bovine excreta!!! The reality is that our BOM (Bureau of Meteorology, not the book of mormon), predicted that we would get cooler conditions and light rain on the 5th and 6th of January and TSCC latched onto a pretty sure thing.

Oldpobot has summed up our situation pretty well. The weather cooled off considerably over the weekend and we had a bit of light rain which helped control some of the smaller fires close to home. However, the big ones are still burning and the temperature is on the rise again. Last Friday the smoke was so thick here that we could barely see our next door neighbour's house and the main street

Don't worry Alan, the mormon church will be there to help us after the hard work has been done and the fires are out of course. They will don their yellow helping hand vests and hand out little hygiene bags that have been donated by tithe paying members whilst posing for well orchestrated photo shoots as they pat themselves on the back. Keep safe Alan, I hope you are in an area that is

Yes, February is usually our hottest month, but what is scary is that we were starting to get bush fires back in September which here in Victoria is usually our wettest month. There is no doubt the climate is changing. Forty-three years ago when I moved into this historic little country town in north-eastern Victoria it was not unusual for it to snow regularly during winter although the sno

Ecologists at Sydney University estimate 480,000 mammals, marsupials, birds and reptiles have died since September when some of the fires started. They also fear that some species with low populations may have now become extinct. I hope your friend is keeping safe.

Australia is burning. In Mallacoota, a little coastal town in the Gippsland area of Victoria, 4000 people are stranded on the beach. 211 kilometres away (131 miles) another little town called Buchan (well known here for its caves) was completely encircled by fires and several hundred people were reportedly camped in the football ground and local pub, including my firefighting son-in-law who

The old outdoor dunny, brings back some great memories of my childhood in Kalgoorlie Western Australia in the 1940's. These outdoor dunnies which backed onto a service lane, always stank to high heaven despite regular applications of phenol, which had a horrible smell of its own. Strips of sticky flypaper hung from the ceiling but there were just not enough of them to cope with the cloud of

So sorry to hear that you lost your dog two weeks ago. I know how you must be feeling because we had to send our sixteen year old part Staffie (Zayford Beetlebreath), across the Rainbow Bridge five weeks ago. Zayford absolutely hated the J.Ws and we could always tell when they were at the door. Even if they were not always the same people every time, he could still suss them out and would g

Well no, I have never seen a priesthood blessing where the blind could see, or a disabled person was made whole. However, I am sure such miracles do exist and are just as real as the kangaroos who sell newspapers at Southern Cross Railway Station.
