Hi (No one) We used to have active members in Tasmania. I'm not sure we do now. If there is any one reading there, just thought I'd say how sorry I am about the fires! If you are caught up in fires, then it's unlikely you'll be reading this; I am still sorry. I have been meaning to say that and getting distracted by trivialities -- Icarus falling from the sky and the ploughman ploughing... Recent weather in USA and in Russia has been negatively impressive and I still manage to moan about rain and overcast. It's been mild in S E Britain. We'll pay for that when the farmers find that nothing we regard as nasty has been killed off; but that'll be then. We're not thinking much about that now; and still we're moaning. I am. Much of my country has been flooded and I live on a chalk hill So, anyway, may the fires stop (Prayer of the godless) L
