Hi all May I extend my own, and my family's, sympathies to our Aussie cousins over the chaos and, in particular, the deaths caused by the fires in Victoria, Australia. A daughter of friends of ours is staying with reli's over in Melbourne at the moment and, of course, her Mum and Dad are worried to death about the apparantly random nature of the fires. The Firefighters, Volunteers and Troops need greatful thanks for the stirling work they're doing at no small risk to themselves - we saw the fire tender which was 'flashed' by the fire.on our news tonight.

Dear Les & Family & people of Dunbartonshire. Thank you for your thoughts. It is in deed a very sad time in OZ. The fires in Victoria are so bad it is really unbelievable to take in, that so many people have lost their lives every time you turn on the TV there are more to date 180 dead and 80 in Hospital they say it could go as high as 300 and all the wild life has been wipe out. I asked you all to pray for rain for Victoria, as there are still 11 big fires still burning. I lived in Queensland and the top half of my state has been flooded for about 6 weeks I wish I could send all that water to Victoria. I am sure that the daughter of your friend will be out of harm's way in Melbourne.
