Kia Kaha Christchurch

You've seen the news. Today it was some grownups but also some kids' turn to show solidarity in support of Christchurch and to New Zealand's Moslem community.

This is as close to "church" as it gets for us, but nevertheless we support. (Mitre10 Mega is the biggest hardware store chain in New Zealand.)

Tasman Bush Fire Day 19 : Rain and Hot Spots

It's the 19th day of the fire and we had our first real rain in probably a couple of months. (We had one that lasted less than a minute and another couple of minutes at our place but can't remember about where the fire is.)

We think there's none or very little rain to come today, but can you see skinny string-like smoke going up from behind the ridge? That's all the remaining hot spots, above and underground. This is between 1/3 to 1/2 of what we can see from our window, so it has been a big one.

Weeeeeekendddddd!

We noticed something going on outside while eating dinner. This was going on. There was talk we might get some rain this weekend, but that wasn't to be.

Large Sky

It's been so long I haven;t see this much space in sky since Tasman Forest Fire on last Tuesday.

If I look at closer with binocular, I can still see several hot-spots with smoke comes up.
