I have been an absolute sloth this weekend. I have slept a lot. I just haven’t been able to get motivated. I went to see ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ on Friday night. I was hoping to get some tips! It was ok, but not that funny really to me.
I did get to see Reuben last night who I was worried about last weekend. He and his family and home are fine. It was great to see him in person. We laughed because lots of people were asking Tom about him and he’d said he’d call us if something went wrong… but how would he? Funny now though.
I notice in the news the fires are still burning at Wilson’s Prom. I didn’t get there this summer. I intended to. I was hoping to take a friend from overseas there, but it just didn’t happen. We cancelled our year 7 camps there this week. There were fires there only 4 years ago.
Last night I was thinking about the last time I drove to Inverloch around New Years Eve. I drove through Mirboo North and remember thinking how beautiful it all was and appreciating all I saw. It was still green at that time. I was thinking about how I’d likely be overseas next summer and was really making a conscious memory of this area that I know so well and love. I’m not sure I want to see it burnt and devastated.
I talked to Andy on the phone on Friday night. We looked at properties at Carrajung a few years ago. They were beautiful places. I have no idea if they are still alright. I hope so. I haven’t been out of town. The news never tells me what I want to know… so I’ve given up on that earlier in the week. Some kids at school mentioned on Friday they had been to look at Jeeralang, but I don’t think I could. They are best left to the people who need to be there I think.
I went to Revver to find some of my old clips of these areas, but I think Revver is on the blink again. I could get to my newer clips, but not the old ones. I hope I have backups! Now I am posting my clips through tubemogul and posting them to a variety of sites, but I have only been doing that in the past year or so, so I may have lost all those old ones. A bit unfortunate! Small things though compared to what many have lost and I feel pathetic mentioning it.

ABC 774 is the best media source for bushfire info on both radio and Twitter.
I watched the 4 Corners special on the fires last night and it still has the power to kick one in the guts.
I agree Jayne, ABC 774 on twitter has been most reliable. We didn’t have ABC back on here… also TV stopped working after power went off on day of fires… so have to get that fixed… not a big TV watcher to be honest so I haven’t got round to it yet. It sounds like it was a powerful show though, many people have mentioned it online.
