Fires: four dead, 400 homes burned
A 73-year-old Duffy man has been identified as the fourth person to have died in ferocious bushfires that ravaged Canberra at the weekend, destroying up to 400 homes.
He is the third person to have died in the Duffy fires, which destroyed 185 houses.
“It’s believed he died in his home trying to fight off the fires,” an ACT police spokeswoman said.
Police said tonight that at least 368 homes were destroyed in the fires, but that figure is expected to rise above 400.
so how hot is it today?
that’s how hot. i swear it probably got up to 50, but while i’m sweating away in Sydney, there are more and more and more and more bushfires burning. i haven’t heard much news on it since i’ve been mostly busy today, but i’m guessing it’s not good considering the whether out there…
on a brighter and off tangent note, this would have to be the cutest thing i’ve ever drank out of.. dad bought it for me since we were all really thirsty.. we went up to chatswood to walk around and get some things for my wedding dress (i won’t post what cause i know sticky beak Regan reads this hehe) and went into an asian grocery. i had no idea what it was, but it tastes good!
gotta go before i melt – i’ve been watching the lord of the rings extended version dvd’s while sitting in the coolest room in the house.. can’t complain!
beautiful things can happen in a year and i’m glad i spent it with him. it’s only the first of so many anniversaries to come, i feel like i’ve already spent a lifetime with him in this short span of time. looking back, i realise that we’ve both grown together in lots of ways. looking forward, i know we will continue to grow together and share so many new things. there hasn’t been a day where my feelings for him have faded. i am so lucky in every way to have had the love, respect and friendship from this amazing man. i only wish that everyone will get to find out what it’s like to have this kind of adoration and love for someone in their life.

happy anniversary Regan
i love you more than anyone else will ever know
