We seem to get off rather lightly with fire damage and loss of life compared to places like Australia and California. I suppose it’s because we have mostly fynbos and grasslands while they have natural forests.

You know I’ve noticed that smiley but never checked to see if it’s just something that wordpress.com puts there or the result of something in my widgets.

Did you see the Australian news reports? Killer fires in the south-east, massive floods in the north. It’s just a little like SA – fires in the Cape and hectic rain in Joburg.

Love the tiny-smiley in the top right of the page. :)
