I remember being in the heart of Cyclone Bola, and later driving through the forests and seeing those trees flattened by the power of the winds, so I don't underestimate the strength of our storms. Being in one of those high rises on the waterfront would be terrifying, so perhaps it is just as well they aren't too familiar with what one of these tropical beasts can do. Even with those massive underpinnings, they have all that glass, I think I would head inland for a few days if one of those apartments was my home.
One of our oldest residents had a fall last night and was whisked off by ambulance for a check up. Interestingly, the paramedics warned that she would not be admitted unless there was something really serious, but she is not back this morning so we have hope that she is getting a real assessment - the one we have been hoping for now for a long time. She is the one I think I told you about a while back who we all think needs some expert support 24/7, lovely lady but a worry to those around her. Maybe the geriatric team can find her a safe haven.
North Shore Hospital is very busy on a Friday night, so maybe she's still in the waiting queue, no doubt there'll be news soon enough from our two reliable nosey parkers! Nothing stops them when they're determined.
The heritage tomato seedlings I planted late have big fruit on them though the foliage is a mess with our scorching sun and hot breezes. I know one of the plants is a big yellow, but I am hoping for a german green from another. I am definitely going to save seed, these did so much better than the store bought hybrids, but next season they are going into the ground even if I have to steal some space, they do so much better if their roots can go deep.
