And I feel guilty for enjoying it. I got irritated by a young girl at a shop counter who said glibly "I'm tired of all this rain, I want some sunshine" but it's not her fault it's so unfair, or that people so quickly forget.<BR/>I'm relieved that the blue mountains have been spared, but I feel a traitor for thinking that. I'm so sorry for everyone who has been affected. It just HAS to stop.Mountaingirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917302519488588403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590927183326781738.post-63701570993755365432009-02-10T13:03:00.000+11:002009-02-10T13:03:00.000+11:00God Jilly, those stories are awful.

Writing about it is hard, how to do it without sounding saccharine or indulgent, or melodramatic .... and the survivor stories coming out through the newspapers are just horrendous. I think people (including me) haven't actually yet come to grips with the full extent of the catastrophe.flickettysplitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425564918817490162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590927183326781738.post-72506750441011072922009-02-10T10:31:00.000+11:002009-02-10T10:31:00.000+11:00The whole thing is so horrific. :( Just awful beyo...The whole thing is so horrific. :( Just awful beyond words.Andrea Eameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304706719936895188noreply@blogger.com
