Not much sleep to be had here last night, howling wind & heavy rain; not looking forward to the daily dog walk but we'll do the shortest one again.
The bin hadn't been collected till late-ish & was going to just leave it till this morning but once the wiind started, thought better of it & turned music up loud (so madama le Dog didn't bark at me going outside without her) & very quietly sneaked out the back door & grabbed it.
I was very glad I had in the early hours, the bin would probably have ended up in Hokotika.
Also very pleased I was lucky getting the dreaded groceries done before it all kicked off.
Managed to get birthday gifts for youngest grandson wrapped up, will post nearer to his birthday; they're in Brisbane so won't see him this year.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
