  1. It was nice to wake up without the haze and the smell of smoke hanging dense in the air. I like it here in the city, far from the front. I remember 1983 as clear as a bell, it was like someone opened the gates to hell. Burning embers falling like snow and eleven year old me running around with a wet hessian sack smothering them where they landed. The heat was terrible, my uncle put me in a heavy wool coat soaked in borax solution. And then the heat exhaustion after, I was out of it for three days.
