Good morning - much cooler here in the Bay - much more bearable and it sounds like we might not get the cyclonic rain which is good news - a lot of insurance claims haven’t been settled from the 2020 flood .
Heard the boom from Tonga last night - thought it was something happening down the wharf - hopefully things aren’t too bad in Tonga - Mother Nature sure gives us regular surprises - we We’re living in Taupo when the last big eruption occurred and so we were a long way from the actual eruption but the Tongan one was very close Taupo went instantly dark and we were covered in ash - I was at work it took me about 30 mins to get home to our house at Acacia Bay I had left the ranch sliders on the deck open so the dogs could go in and out - when I arrived home the dogs unfortunately had stayed out on the deck and where just mounds of ash - the vet treated them for about 3 days but they had inhaled too much ash and didn’t make it - the insurance company were not happy with my open ranch slider that allowed all the ash into the house - must be diabolical in Tonga plus they had the sea to contend with
You and Mr P must discuss problems with management - you are also speaking on behalf of residents who can’t speak up but may be having the same problems .Mums rest home was fantastic but some staff probably had chosen the wrong job and weren’t quite up to it
My seed propagation is going well but I should have labeled them - no doubt when the grow bigger I should be able to see what’s what - the purple snow peas are easy to identify
My lemon tree is having a hissy fit - there are about 100 little lemons on the lawn - it is a big old tree - maybe it’s suffering from the 30deg days we have been having - will mention it to the gardener when he comes
The frog sounds exciting Kiwimade
