A Week of Disasters

This week has been a week in Australia that the Mills family will choose to forget. After the hideous fires down in Melbourne the current death toll stands at 180 and rising. The R.S.P.C.A. think that over one million animals may have been lost to the inferno also.
Another disaster almost occurred a lot nearer to home as well, in the back yard in fact with William almost breaking his neck diving into the pool. It really was quite frightening as we kept him still sat in the pool waiting for the ambo to arrive. Thanks to Ray and Linda for coming to our aid. After X-rays and numerous tests William was discharged with nothing more serious than an headache and a stiff neck. He still managed to wangle a day off school thanks to mum!
Still I hope we don't have too may weeks like that in a hurry.
