Summary of what happened yesterday:
A Red Flag Weather warning was in effect. Though the area experienced strong gusts and low relative humidity (RH), no drastic fire movement occurred. Wind conditions allowed air operations to continue throughout most of the day, with scooper planes and helicopters dropping water throughout the fire area.
They have about a thousand people working on it now, so fingers crossed. Apparently this is the second driest April since 1895… the firefighters are battling that plus the winds. They’re doing a remarkable job.
Andy and I are happy that we’re still in our apartment. We now have both our new flip phones and like them, which is a big thing to get off our Possibility List. Andy is continuing to work designing his electronics, including searching for suitable components.
And he’s also getting caught up on his reading.
Things are going well here. How are things with you?

I’m so glad to hear this!
🙂
just think… you’re living through a very famous time in history!
this will be in the weather history books for years. I love your Calm and yet Alert acceptance of anything that might happen. you both have just quietly and efficiently gone about getting things done that are important!
in the meantime…
I’m going to picture it all being resolved with no need to evacuate! XOXO
Like it or not, we’re all living through a famous time in history!
Maybe Andy should treat it as a retreat – but also I see he’s using that time for research and reading – both the kind of things he would do if he had to anyway. And I guess, you Jean is just doing what you do daily anyway…
Things are on about the same level as you Jean, pottering along as best as I’m able. Although tomorrow I’m going out with an unknown man (needed to be picked up and taken) to be at the venue, not been to for quite some time – somehow get through a seniors morning tea – then see a film (Let’s hope I don’t have a blasted hot flush, common with that kind of air-conditioning).
Saturday or sometime in the w/end also going out but with HB to Bunnings hardware mega store …
both venues will be large indoor premises, that’s not something I’ve done in a while. I expect to return home, overwhelmed ….
Wow! Your dance card is full. I hope it’s mostly enjoyable.
This is good news. I’m happy to hear that things are going well.
Thanks. 🙂
I’m always happy as a lark knowing all is well.
Thanks. 🙂
the photo of Andy reading is really good, could be used as an ad for that magazine. I wish bob liked to read. reading is my happy place. so glad you are still at home and safe. prayers for the safety of those 1000 people fighting that fire
Thank you. Safety is their first concern.
There’s no place like home!!!!!
Yes!!
Glad to hear this…
Thanks. 🙂
Glad your news is fair-to-good. Good would be if the fire was contained. Great would be its out. Continue to keep you both in my thoughts.
Thanks. 🙂
That is good news. Praying they contain the fires soon.
Thanks. 🙂
