morning ladies 
It looks like we have the calm before the storm, it is so still out there! We don't have to do as much to hunker down as our gutters were cleared not long ago and there is nothing loose that could fly around. But we will bottle water and fill a bucket of water for the loo. MrK had a tap put on the water tank so we can access water in an emergency but having some already inside saves the trek to the tank.
Today I'll potter out in the garden for a while. The weeds still grow and the bluebells need moving. I'm around halfway with getting rid of the concrete fill
so once that area has been cleared, I can tackle the garden there.
Yesterday I started on the four butterflies for the quilt corners and as they are small, they won't take long to do. It's nice to stitch something small for a change.
I agree with your sentiments about 'women of a certain age', OHH. For some reason men feel they have to 'mansplain' to me as well and I'm not even in my 70's! It's condescending and I hate it.
The other day I used the 'contact us' button on the TVNZ website to ask if the woman reading the midday news would PLEASE stop raising and lowering her voice as it was so hard to hear her. Even I couldn't hear her and there is nothing wrong with my hearing. And lo and behold, over the last few days we could hear her. Someone must have paid attention I never thought those 'contact us' buttons worked lol.
Look after yourselves, this cyclone sounds nasty.
Time to get cracking, I don't want to waste the early morning start.
Happy crafting
