And we’ve got an out of control #bushfire near us.

13 units responding.

The air is full of the smell of burning.

Updated VIC emergency app now says 18 units headed to our #bushfire.

21 units responding.

Okay.

We’re dressed & outside now*. Just in case.

I have my asthma inhaler & we both have masks nearby.

Not much wind about thankfully.

* yes, I can move with my knee looking like a cantaloupe. My walking stick is at my side.

My knee.

Hmmm. Leave immediately notice. #bushfire

We are leaving now. Roads were chock full of cars #evacuating & I wanted to power up my devices.

We are headed south.

@John @SockDiva Can anything be done with the mud brothers?

@frogglin @SockDiva

I love the weird animated gif on this page:

But seriously we left their gate open.

Though they don’t like leaving their paddock, I’m sure they’d leg it if the fire was close.

They won’t fit in our Subaru. I’m thinking we might get a van next year.

@John @SockDiva Good plan, especially if you know they won't rack off just for the sake of it.

@frogglin @SockDiva

Have stopped at #Sunbury.

Evacuation order has been lifted!

So having take away in Sunbury, then returning home. #bushfire
