Fire

I wasn't kidding when I said it was hot.




Yesterday was the hottest day on since records were first kept in Victoria. It was the highest fire danger in history. Much of the state is on fire, and over 85 people are dead, with hundreds of homes destroyed. We're fine, but friends have been burnt out and my parents are literally in the line of fire.

So, no. I haven't been building bicycles. I haven't been in the shed. I've been far more pre-occupied with how I might survive a fire than use one to melt some silver. We'll resume out scheduled broadcast when the state stops burning and people stop being killed.
