What a horrible, horrible week

This week has been the most horrible in not only in Victorian, but Australian history with the devastating bush fires that have claimed many many lives and whole towns here in Victoria.
The devastation is just beyond belief and the fact that the top half of Australia is in the middle of floods just doesn't make a whole heap of sense.
How can one country have such differing extremes of weather?
My heart and that of my family goes out to those affected, I can only imagine (actually I don't think I can)what they are going through and how long it may take them to rebuild their lives.
We have donated to appeals but it just doesn't seem enough, i wish there was some tangible way to help out.
Thats about it from me as I really dont feel like blogging but needed to express those feelings

Well maybe a weekly post then

OK so I havent been doing this daily and not even weekly but I am still posting so thats something
This week has been very very VERY hot and I am not a big fan of the heat so I am doing as little as possible
I did go to Fiona's to scrap which was great as I got all of the Christmas photos done in one 8 x 8 album and then on Sunday I finished up pages already started for the December Daily album we have been doing at Fionas. So I spent quite a lot of the Australia Day weekend doing what I love Scrapbooking.
This week I have also received some more scrapping stuff from a couple of suppliers so that is always fun too.
Yesterday Kev and I ventured to the pictures to see Slumdog Millionaire which was good but not a five star film I didnt think.
Today we are off to have lunch for Max's birthday and then the whirlwind of life begins again tomorrow when Alyce heads back to school and netball starts.
I have also been working on the album for Emma and Leon's wedding and that is all coming together as well.
So all in all fairly productive week considering the heat..................................
