Debbie,

Thank you for your post, and very kind words. I return the compliment - and add that you are such an inspiring member of our G2G family so thank you.

I see you are another G2G well read and informed individual. Thank you for your concern about the fires. My family are not near the devastation in Canberra which has been quite horrific for the poor souls who live there. They are however in north eastern Victoria and the national parks there have been extensively damaged and the fires continue to rage out of control. My family live very close to one of the fire fronts and have been expecting the fire to come through for the last three weeks which has proved to be very stressful and tiring for them. Thankfully they are still safe and if they can continue to contain the blazes that keep flaring up around them, they should be fine. They're very resilient, able people so they'll get through it, but it has been a lousy January for them.

I'm thrilled to see that you're taking part in the challenge. I so enjoy following your progress and your disciplined approach. I hope it proves a to be continued success for you Debbie.

Good luck!

Hugs, Bernie
