;-) you will be sound mate ! well after a while that is ! I went to my mums place in calpe ( spain ) a week or so back , I haven't been since my eldest was a nipper ( 2 ish ) I was sat in bar reminiscing & recall her walking hand in hand with me ( & this took place right in front of where I was sat )she clocked a pram in a toy shop ...her mind was made up that she was having it ...I couldn't tell you how much it was , but was expensive ( a few beer tokens ;-) ) she drew a blank from her mum & turned to me ...with those eyes of hers firming fixed on me ! I didn't try to say no but that lead to her throwing herself on the deck & screaming like **** ! after 5 mins she got it ...her mum didn't take it lightly & gave me loads of stick for it ...just one of those magic moments ...without me knowing it !

you have it all to come !

When she starts chucking herself to the floor in the supermarket i think i will start smoking again

Thank you for your concern, BW, no I didn't take them, it would have been a bit too close for comfort!

Those pictures are from the interior, a drive-a-ways from me, thankfully. A fire can spread faster than a man can run, so it is just as well as I wasn't there at the time with my pointed stick and bag of marshmallows!

Some stunning pictures surfacing however:



Out-of-control fire closest to me is the one in Sechelt, about 25 miles away...as the crow flies. Fortunately, there is a body of water separating us, though not very wide.

We were in the West Midlands om Nov. 5th last year, lescand. The smoke drifted our way from numer

We received some rain on Saturday and a bit on Sunday, fire worries have lessened a bit here in BC. Saskatchewan is much worse off. Firefighters being backed up be Canadian Army Reserves; foreign firefighters have come in for supporter from New Zealand, Mexico, and several other countries.

The stats as of today in the province of 1,000,000 is:

-the present number of fires burning out of control is 119;

-total number of fires this summer are 604;

-13,000 evacuees in shelters.

Always some folks worse off somewhere.
