Gospers Mountain Fires

Thank goodness, the Gospers Mountain Mega Fires west of where I lived is now contained. So hopefully the constant smoke covering the sky for the last 3 months will disappear.  My body clock is all out of alignment, I go to bed usual time midnight and don't get to sleep till 3 or 4 am even when I don't have a catnap during the day. I am over it. I went to bed at 10.30pm last night and here I am a 2.25am still awake.

At least I am retired now, I couldn't imagine trying to work while surrounded by smoke. It has been quite bad and am looking forward to seeing a lovely blue sky again.

The 512,00 hectare fire was started by a single lightning strike we have lost millions of animals: kangaroos, koalas, birds and reptiles. Over 2,000 homes and buildings have been destroyed in New South Wales alone.
