Fish Fire

24 hours ago…those hills didn’t have flames snaking down. The skies were clear and we only had the heat to contend with. Waking up to this from my front window is disconcerting but there’s solace knowing that there are heroes in the air and on the ground working on putting this beast down! Many thanks to the firefighters for being there the long night and for this next day to come.

A Fairy Accounting

Some days just turn on a dime and this afternoon I had to mange a fairly detailed and emotional audit.

Seem that because of the hectic nature of the last few days there were a few but significant miss-entries in the ledger. It’s all sorted out now and our accounting is reconciled but to imagine that this whole thing started because someone lost a tooth yesterday, the tooth-fairy made a late night deposit and we’ve been trying to teach the kids the pragmatism of keeping a check-book.
