Dry and Hot

Driving home yesterday was the first time since we'd left Gippsland, we were surrounded again by the smoke. It was hot and the countryside looks so dry. We didn't experience the extreme hot weather in NSW. It was pleasant to be away from the smoke and the heat. The neighbour who collected our mail for us said it's been hot and smoky during the weeks we've been away. I'm glad I've had a break from it.
