So who’s going to be spending the night at work?

Postby Mal on Mon Jan 22, 2007 3:02 pm

First day back at work and it looks like I will be sleeping the night here. The fires that have closed the F3, Pacific Hwy and railway have meant that anyone who lives north of Hornsby is stuck.
So maybe this is the time I have been wanting to catch up on what has been going on at DSLRusers.
Anyone else looking stuck tonight?

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Do you get paid for the extra time spent at work? :)

:) When you own your own business you can pay yourself what ever you want :)
I am glad I am not stuck in a car on the F3 or highway like some of the poor buggers I can see.

One of the boys @ work is, but his parents live in sydney, so he's camping the night here...

Any chance they will reopen the freeway you think? :?

The rail line has just re-opened! So as long as there is not too much smoke coming across the freeway they may open it. Fingers Crossed.

The Pacific Hwy is now open and the F3 from Berowra. I am guessing it will be a slow trip.

Home now :) :) :)
Many thanks to the RFS and Fire Brigade for getting the blaze under control and allowing us "Berowra Bushies" to get home.
