ps, I was outside the other night admiring the stars (it was extra dark because there was no moon to be seen) and walked backwards right into this firepit – hahaha – there was no fire in it at the time – I had the hugest bruises for the next week!
Yes, it’s been fired up a few times – we haven’t been as cold as Brissie and less rain, but still a few really cold nights – at least the insects disappear when it’s cold Jane 🙂
yes, I’ll have to be a bit more careful Ben – Shirl came to the rescue and banged his foot and leg on the thing – we were both killing ourselves laughing because it was so ridiculous – but hurt like hell 😉
Yes, one of the best things in life is sitting around a fire – we have wonderful night skies around here bb – not much light and so many stars – hasn’t rained for ages – doesn’t get much better than that 🙂

Good haiku!
Reversing into that would definitely give a reverse.
hahaha thanks colonialist – I did a reverse double pike or something like that
Great haiku. I hope you have fired up your pit now. It is freezing in the sub tropics.

a poet get injured while watching stars…careful, you do not want a broken arm 😉

So often we kid ourselves that we have control over the elements, and then they remind us…
too true Graham 🙂
Something primally wonderful about sitting around a pit of fire at night. Do you have a clear night sky there, Gabe?

Wonderful picture, Gabrielle. Controlling fire is such a risky business.
thanks Kate 🙂 it is a risky business – many a backburn as turned into a full blown fire in Australia

Mere illusion. Exactly.
