2 weeks ago I was the drunkest I had been in 7 years! but I did have fun though, I even got up on stage!

ZombieKitten said:

Good for you!

Charlotte's been away for 20 minutes





I think she's dancing around the living room in her socks

omg! fires galore!!!!

ZombieKitten said:

Wow! Is that just cause it's so hot?

Hard for me to imagine, it being so cold and wet here!

ZombieKitten said:

Bushfire season... sucks!

you guys in the UK think you're in a drought? come check out a real drought in Australia and see what the effects are both short term and long term

susannah said:

really hot and windy

Natisse said:

Oh I know! I think its just because we're so used to being so wet

susannah said:

yep... I crack up over here when people talk about a drought really...

it's also coz weather in Australia can be so extreme too

Natisse said:

well my parents seem to be right in the line of the fire! they've packed their valuables into their car!

ZombieKitten said:

omg hon it's good they're taking precautions and packing stuff... wow

hope they're ok

ZombieKitten said:

Oh my God!! I hope they will be ok

Natisse said:

They have decided to stay and fight rather than flee I will call them tomorrow. My sister asked me didn't I notice how hazy it's been? But I live near the bay, and the sea breezes blow it all in-land!

ZombieKitten said:

Sounds like the safest place for you to be!

ZombieKitten said:

I'm sure if it gets too dangerous, hon, they'll go



Sus, to give you an idea this is the current Fire Danger for NSW - all the read? that's EXTREME fire danger and blue is moderate... it goes on a scale. you see Albury down the bottom? that's leading into Victoria where Charlotte and her parents are - you can see the Extreme danger gets worse as it goes inland and south

Natisse said:

Huh. I see... Is the north and east of the country generally ok?

susannah said:

nope... nowhere is really ok, for bushfires. basically because it's so dry and hot especially the more inland you get

current Victorian Fire Danger

wet here. there are mad waves, which my husband almost drowned himself in last weekend. not kidding!

FlyAway said:

Where are you?


And...is that you Heiress?!

ZombieKitten said:

You mean there's a connection between the two!

susannah said:

it's me, honey!

i'm still living on the beach (should move in about a month). the mediterranean... when the waves get big here, they're sometimes very dangerous. my man got stuck in a bad place, and there was essentially nothing i could do but wait and maybe call for help... his windsurf washed up, his mast snapped in half and sail was torn to ribbons... didn't see him for a while, i thought he was a goner and so did he!

whew... what else can i say?

retina said:

That Charlotte Always causing havoc!

FlyAway said:

Wow, Im glad he's ok! Postives AND negatives to living on the beach I guess

susannah said:

no kidding. i asked him if he was out to have a near-death experience every december now... last year by fire, this year by water, next year... by mudslide?

FlyAway said:

Don't tempt fate!

so charlotte, are you thoroughly entertained yet? that's what counts i guess...

FlyAway said:

not really!
