Things that make you sad.

[Footy Chick]

Fires in Victoria are out of control. There are several Evacuate Immediately warnings, and sadly there are several Too Late to Leave warnings.

One of the old health service sites I worked at 20 years ago (Natimuk) had the fires go right around the nursing home

Just stepped off the ship from Antarctica to hear about this.

I have a friend in the nursing home and another elderly lady that lives about 200m down the road. Im still in Buenos Aires an im unable to check that they're safe.
I have nonidea if her house is still standing.
Im messaged a friend who's partner works at the nursing home so hopefully I have some luck there.

According to my former health service colleagues everyone OK at the Nursing Home but 15 structures lost.
