Wind starting to pick up this morning - but we have had a windy summer - it wasn’t as bad in Norfolk Island as predicted so hopefully the same will happen here - a lot of money was spent yesterday in the supermarket and now people will complain about the empty shelves .The two worst my farmer/sawmiller son had to deal with was an out of control woman shouting at the lady at customer services about the rotten mince she had bought the day before - it still had its Countdown label - she was in the wrong shop and another man telling the young Indian boy in the veggie dept he should go back where he came from - he was born in NZ - because he had bought several $3 watermelons and one was completely white when he cut it open - he is back there today - reckons they should make a reality show a day in the life of a young kiwi working in retail
I grew capsicum for the first time - one plant are beautiful purple - haven’t tried one yet but they look spectacular- they will safe in the pod if the worst does come .
They have discovered in Oz how stupid it has been building on flood plains and we are starting to see the same thing - reclaimed land is very vulnerable now the climate is changing .The husband of the rat killer was a contractor who did subdivision development- he did a big one just south of the city on land that was sea before the earthquake - he was very vocal about the risk of liquefaction- didn’t realise what that was until the CHCH earthquake - no doubt in time he will be proven correct
