We have had a couple of lovely days of blue sky and temperatures in the mid 20s, and lots of swimming – a real contrast to the weather on New Year’s Eve. Last night, we celebrated my birthday early by having dinner at the Lagoon restaurant, overlooking the sea. It is famous for its seafood – you will have to see if you can work out what fish we had! And today, as we walked home, we watched a wedding on the beach in Wollongong which we visited several times with James and Daniel. Lots of happy faces!
But the bushfires continue and many of the places we visited earlier in November are now inaccessible. The big south coast fire is not that far away, and tomorrow is being descried as a potentially catastrophic day as temperatures soar into the 40s, and high winds will fan the flames. John, Emily, Mia and Summer arrive tomorrow – to a country that is burning.
