	Thank you Gwyn:-) Both, although we will have Ukrainian style dishes in January. For the first time since being in Oz we will be having a ham today when our daughter visits and then again on Boxing day when our son pops in. Unfortunately he is working today Prepared the ham yesterday as today is forecast to be in the mid thirties

	Pleased that you are ok Allan but sad for those who have lost their houses at Christmas. Pleased nobody was hurt. Well done to the firefighters.

	All is well now, but traffic was still in chaos this morning due to several road closures. An extremely small price to pay for the efforts of the firefighters! Perth (Parkerville) was not so fortunate, four houses lost, but at least all are safe. Not an ideal start to Christmas :-(

	Such a scary time, watching and waiting Fires can be so unpredictable :-0 Keep safe, Allan. <3

	Oh Allan, what a shock you got. Hopefully things have settled down. My cousin is south of Sydney and last year, the fires were close to his back garden and was nearly evacuated but thankfully all was ok. Such a worry for you and your family. Take care Florence in the hebrides

	..for comfort. A quite extensive bush fire broke out yesterday, about 3 kms form where we live. The main Highway between Bunbury and Perth was closed in both directions and the local shopping centre (2 kms from here) was evacuated, as were some homes in the vicinity. Low flying Helitak helicopters plus fixed wing fire-fighting planes were brought in to help fight the fire. Thankfully things appear OK this morning
