The Best Job in the World… well maybe, but only if the servers work soon

Posted on 22 February 2009 | Related Categories: News

OK, so yes, I left it to the last day to apply for The Best Job in the World, but then there was a deadline for a reason and as the web site says — “Applications are still open…”

Red Cross Bush Fires Appeal

The British Red Cross have set up an appeal for the devastating bush fires in Victoria, Australia

It has been distressing to see all the devastation caused and lives lost in the bush fires, which took hold in the rural areas of Victoria, Australia, in the past week.

The British Red Cross have set up an appeal, so you can donate money that will be used to care for the thousands of people who have been made homeless as a result of the bush fires.

There is more information about the appeal here, and you can donate online, or by phone 0845 054 7201

When I warned of the high temperatures in Victoria and South Australia a couple of weeks ago, never did I imagine the worst bush fires on record in Australia were about to come.
