Hi Melissa!well done on 100 followers :) Yay!I am also in love with the writing and blogging thing. I love having an audience and comments and really just being able to write and have my voice heard.As for the evacuation – I am glad you are ok aside from the sunburn.In December 2009, there were fires in my parents' hometown outside of Albury NSW. (http://carlyfindlay.blogspot.com/2009/12/bushfires-in-gerogery.html)I live in Melbourne and a friend from Albury advised me of the fires. I tried to get in touch with my parents by phone but it was difficult – there was a storm happening in Albury so the landline phones were down, and as my parents were travelling back to their property and mobile coverage is not good in the country, I couldn't reach their mobiles straight away. I rang their neighbour – he was asleep and unaware the fires were 2 km from their house. I knew my parents would be ok because they worked in Albury, 25 km from their house, but I worried about their dogs. Anyhow, turns out everything was ok, but the main town of Gerogery was evacuated and lost four houses. 1000s of livestock were lost, and a few people I know lost their pets. My parents had the choice to evacuate or stay and defend. They stayed. Fortunately it was all ok for them and their neighbours. It was so worrying for me because I just didn't know what was going on. I called my parents each hour until midnight that night to check on them. They were sick of me. Evacuations are scary.Sorry to ramble. It's your blog afterall.I love the way you write :)

Yes, I'm afraid I'm completely addicted to the writing/blogging thing, myself. Can't BELIEVE the awesome people I've connected with (like YOU!). Glad you're safe, even if it was just a kiddie pool wave. Keep applying that aloe! Cheers!

You poor thing, sunburn is a horrible thing to deal with. Sounds like you had an awesome time though!We were watching webcams all morning yesterday to try and catch a glimpse of the "tsunami". What a letdown (although I'm glad nobody got hurt)!
