The nights are cool and I hope my energy will hold out long enough for me to re-establish an autumn vegetable patch.<br /><br />Would you like to know the special meaning of the place where I live? 'Warriparinga' - it is the indigenous Kaurna name meaning "windy place by the river" and it was certainly that today. In the summer we get gully breezes most evenings.<br /><br />Which places have special meanings for you, Amalia? :-)Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-40644092793456957012020-03-03T22:14:16.609+10:302020-03-03T22:14:16.609+10:30It is very tragic.

A report this week said that fewer people than expected have actually taken up the financial grants on offer from the government. The reasoning is that people are still so busy with practical matters like repairing farm fences and cleaning up debris; dealing with shock etc. that many are not in the right frame of mind or have the time and energy yet to deal with bureaucracy. <br /><br />These events will have long-term social, economic and health impacts on our communities. Support services for victims of domestic violence, sadly, are expecting an increase in demand due to the stresses placed on people, especially when their usual supports are not available due to the disruption of communities and routines etc.<br /><br />I am also thinking about you and your family in the light of tragic events in your part of the world also, Meredith. xJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-78311067019004241832020-03-03T22:07:20.030+10:302020-03-03T22:07:20.030+10:30I am fine, Mary-Anne.

We did experience substantial smoke haze from Kangaroo Island but it was trivial compared to the east coast of Australia (and Sydney in particular). The long-term worry is about the contaminants in that smoke and how that will play out for the population in terms of future health issues.

I do believe that specialists will be / are using drones to do an audit of the surviving wildlife and habitat to guide the wildlife recovery efforts.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-17617700646092532422020-03-03T14:25:03.257+10:302020-03-03T14:25:03.257+10:30I'm glad that the rain finally came.

Looks like a very nice place and I'm glad to know that it was untouched by disaster. Really mind boggling how much has been lost in the fires. The good news is that Mother Nature always finds her way back. Unfortunately, it takes much longer for humans to overcome and rebuild their lives. Such destruction will continue to happen as long as governments are concerned more about profits than people. The wild animals continue to dwindle because man has mistakenly chosen to believe that they can pave over and build wherever they please, but that is just not the case and it will all continue to fall apart until people finally wake up and realize that the current way of doing things is no longer of benefit. I am really hoping to see overall change from the current status quo but there will definitely be global pushback because the rich just want to keep getting richer and aren't really concerned about the future.
