It's when the interview goes like a dream that you don't get the job. You might be surprised.

The Australian bush fires.

Here in La Belle there are bylaws in fire risk areas. In the south, for example, it is illegal to have any trees within either 25 metres or, in higher risk areas, 50 metres, of any buildings. This creates hundreds of mini fire breaks, and when the inevitable forest fires start, as they have done for millennia, they rarely do any damage to life or property. If you plant trees in the prohibited zones the local council turn up with a JCB and rip them out. Where I live bonfires are not permitted for most of the year - smoke attracts Gendarmes like moths to a light. So how come that in the bush fire belts in Australia they have trees, often eucalyptus and full of flammable oils, right up to the sides of houses?

In Yorkshire we control bush fires by having copious amounts of rain - why don`t the aussies do that too!

I've just discovered that I have more pairs of boots and shoes (mainly the former) than Mrs H.

We have the shoe rule in our house.  If shoes come in, shoes must leave.   In the pat year we had to expand this to the jacket and coat rule.  Same: one comes in one must leave.

I didn't say I had lots of shoes, just that I have more than Mrs H. I have the opposite problem to many husbands - I can lead her to the shops, but I cannot make her buy
