Terrific Thursday

The day ended with a viewing of 'Casablanca'. A great black and white movie, and so many forgotten scenes; the remembered ones have almost become cliches.

Adelaide Bush Fires

SOARING temperatures and strong winds will cause major concern for firefighters battling to keep bushfires under control north and south of Adelaide today.

The Country Fire Service (CFS) said a fire at Willunga, south of Adelaide, which destroyed one home yesterday, had been contained and a fire at Williamstown, to the north, was also under control.

But a spokesman said predictions of 40-degree heat and strong northerly winds posed a significant risk of the fires breaking through control lines.

we watched the final of the current series (here in Australia) of The Amazing Race. T'was a disappointment to see the 'bama girls eliminated by one of their rare misjudgements.
Still it was fun to watch - and great to know there are more to come.

I'd like to see a follow up show revealing
what the winners have done with the
million dollars they won.
