Thanks for the good wishes, Gentlemen. 
Today much cooler, blustery wind, air cranes active, and the fire now reclassified as "Bushfire, under control".
Swanoir, everything is relative. Your fall impacted you and was painful. Hope you mend quickly.
So far, we've personally lost nothing. North Queensland is flooded, Tasmania has tens of thousands of hectares burning out of control, and there have been towns in Victoria badly burnt.
Elsewhere, people are suffering violent drug gangs, famine, war, disease; In the words of the 1930s song "The flies crawled up the window", there's a line: "Hitherto, I've survived on 'flu, I'm lucky to be alive!"
EDIT Now I'm unsure whether it was from that song.
There are various lyrics by different performers. The one I'm thinking of includes "In the wet and windy weather, it's the strong survive," ahead of my quote above. I've done a search, but none of that comes up. Might have to delve into my old tape collection and see what turns up.
Once again, many thanks for your concern.
