It's unimaginable, isn't it? My thoughts and prayers have been constantly with the people of Victoria.<BR/>As Meggie and other Aussies have commented, your cheery posts are appreciated at such a solemn time.<BR/>What a sweet surprise the little snowman must've been :)<BR/>Giving a wave to the 'mum' from Salford and wishing her a happy maternity leave. Enjoy your new little bundle :)<BR/>How nice to have the mystery solved. <BR/>I hope you had a happy Valentine's Day dear Isabelle.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-16082600285445193692009-02-17T13:38:00.000+00:002009-02-17T13:38:00.000+00:00Most Australians living in fire-prone areas have v...Most Australians living in fire-prone areas have vital documents packed ready to go at a moment's notice. You'd be stupid not to be prepared.<BR/>We Aussies are very appreciative of the sympathy emanating from most of the world's peoples, and we don't expect you to continue to grieve on our behalf. It is good for us to read positive blogs like yours, Isabelle! BTW, I haven't forgotten your 'interview' - just haven't got around to posting my answers. I will do it soon.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-34938393241355737312009-02-15T12:54:00.000+00:002009-02-15T12:54:00.000+00:00What a lovely post Mrs Life!

What I meant was that it feels wrong for ME to be reading them. A guilt thing I suppose. The fires are so all consuming and overwhelming here that it feels wrong to be talking/thinking of anything but them, and in fact it is near impossible to anyway.<BR/><BR/>Hello to Mum from Salford!

And giggling that you didn't know tootsie rolls -- they're one of my very favorites, but I really just stuck them in there because they had valentine packaging. <BR/><BR/>Yipee! The person, er woman, from Salford has emerged -- how fun to have the mystery at long last solved. And I love your little snowman!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-31532003931841758022009-02-12T21:44:00.000+00:002009-02-12T21:44:00.000+00:00I agree too.

And Hi to the Lady from Salford too! <BR/><BR/>I love the photo of the snowman....we have yet more snow here today. And the first and second and third etc etc lot has not melted yet. I just wish we could do more to help the Australian friends, who are living through an unimaginable nightmare.<BR/><BR/>What lovely gifts, Isabelle! You are going to really enjoy those treats!Lindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141761866483224572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-18944970800149981802009-02-12T21:20:00.000+00:002009-02-12T21:20:00.000+00:00Hear hear.
