Its Wednesday, and the weight of recent events has lifted a little today. The fires down in Numinbah have stayed behind the containment lines overnight with the firies more patrolling and mopping up the edges than full on fire fighting. Definitely a good sign when lots of local firies can sleep at night!
Springbrook Craft Group has a bit of a change of plan this morning. They will meet at 10.30am at the Lost Fawn Cafe today.  All crafts welcome. No charge this morning but you can buy your own coffee and one of Regans yummy cakes!
The Springbrook Community Library is no longer open on Wednesday afternoons.  Please access the books during the SMCA meeting tonight if you need any. The Purlingbrook Book Nook on Kuralboo st is open all day every day if you haven't tried it yet.
Despite our facebook page saying the meeting is on Thursday, our SMCA general meeting will be TONIGHT, 7.15pm at the hall. Roz Bates will be our guest this evening if you have anything you'd like to ask her. Visitors always welcome, but are unable to put motions to the floor or vote.

Good to hear we have some respite from the stress of fires at the base of our hill top heaven this morning. It's the beginning of the season so we may go through this a number of times before we get some decent rain. Hopefully we've all learnt a few things about what fires can do and what information is out there for us. Now we have some resources to draw on when the next incident occurs. In the meantime, dancing, prayers and other rain inducing rituals are encouraged!
Be kind to each other. We all cope in different ways. It's been a scary week for us here on the mountain. Get on with your day and stay busy. The firies will keep us up to date with any developments. Remember, if you can't find us on the QFES pages, then they don't have a fire worth reporting in our area!! Breathe. Relax. Stay busy. Be calm. We have a wonderful Wednesday to get on with!
See you there! 💚Springbrook
