We have had two days of respite over here in Perth....yesterday was quite cool and today is lovely too....but will be heating up again for the weekend. Everything round here is tinder dry. We live in the hills....as does my younger sister. Some kids lit a fire on a vacant block in her street yesterday....one house slightly damaged but as you know...they get out of control quickly. Later last night whilst we were on the phone she said some idiot had let off fireworks...(they are illlegal here anyway).....the idiocy of some people astounds me....Stay cool and safe everyone...good weather for sitting quietly at your machine and piecing
