There's an impressive scar down the side of the tree, a burnt circle on our carpet and a singe mark on the nearby curtain. We weren't home at the time and we can't believe the house didn't burn down. So all in all we feel pretty lucky.

Just recently got the computer back from the insurance repairer.
So I'll have to do a bit of reading to catch up on what's been doing here.

Had a couple of good nights at the telescope out at Mt Beauty over new years...

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year.

Molly.
