Several guild members have asked me over the last few weeks if Tweedle and I are ok.

Yes we are, thank you!

We are on the West Coast of Australia (Perth). We have had some fires, however none close enough to us that have caused us to evacuate this year.
We have had to evacuate in the past.

Hearts go out to those that have lost everything on the east coast. As well as to all the animals that are now almost extinct.
It is a sad time for Australia and Australians!
