Cute duck Andy. Not sure I want one resident onboard unless it`s toilet trained.
Talking of strong westerly winds, yesterday was a day of high bush(forest) fire alert here. Probably 200 homes lost, some loss of life, last night over 90 fires burning, 30 plus out of control, across numerous parts of the state. Probably the worst fire day in 10 years. We are immediately east of 40 acres of natural bush, on alert all day just in case, there is a risk of ember attack from distant fires, although we are 8km from the centre of Sydney, which was inundated with smoke. Today we give thanks to the fire personnel, especially the many volunteers who risk themselves and take time off work to help others.
