Happy summer, everyone - finally! It's feeling very hot, dry and ready to burn around Canberra. Quite disturbing, really! I guess this is just the beginning of climate change - hotter hots and colder colds, increased danger of catastrophic uncontrollable fires, floods and storms. And no one in Government seems capable of doing much about it. Depressing, much?
On a lighter note, it looks like we just bought a little farm! Very exciting to finally be able to realise a 30 year dream of mine and my partner's. We should be moving out there by May (very long settlement period which helps us since we need to sell our place), and I will no doubt be blogging about our experiences setting up a 20 acre block with no horse infrastructure and little else than a weatherboard cottage and 2 small dams.
I found two more articles of interest. They are both quite interesting:

Not much to report, riding-wise. I haven't ridden for the last 3 days due to fire worries and a sick little bubba. Good luck with the fires and stay safe.
