Weather extremes

Have to say that the weather has been a little confusing. A couple of weeks ago there was extreme heat and bushfires (still exists in southern part of Australia), but the past week there has been non-stop rain in Sydney! Been nice to have Sydney cooled off and my weary and withered garden renewed, however now they are warning of potential threat of flooding! Bizarre! Global warming effects perhaps? Aliens? lol

Thanks to all my friends overseas who have been enquiring re the bushfires. Although they arent near me at this time, the devastation of the 180+ lives lost has touched our whole nation. In addition to the loss of life, there was also mass loss of flora, fauna and property, in fact some whole towns were wiped out. The photo below is sooooo cute and depicts how the tragedy has also impacted nature.
