Hope they can get those fires under some control tomorrow.
The weather is looking very hot again for Victoria.

Wouldn't want children in Gippsland and elsewhere to have memories of terrifying Bush Fires.

While I was growing up, my parents would tell me not to sit too close to the television or else I would have crossed eyes. I was always running to a mirror to check them.

When I was young & always had my nose in a book my mother used to tell me that I'd read my "brain into train oil" - I always had visions of this wonderful golden liquid sloshing around in my head. Why train oil - I haven't a clue

I would have been 4 or 5 at the time. My mother and another woman in our 'Close' disgussing a woman who used to stand at the entrance of the Close all day long. Apron on, scarf on her head, arms were always folded, and my mother saying "Suit her better if she went in and cleaned her 'hoose'. I told my father as soon as he came in the door!

My gran's favourite saying puzzled me for many years, until I married and had my own home.

'It's easier to keep a clean hoose that in is tae keep a dirty yin'.

I really didn't get it till then.
