You can never have enough...

Morning everyone

We are once again in a national State of Emergency.

I have never shopped online but  with a combination of free delivery and barely being able to walk I will do an order shortly.

My thoughts to everyone with life, property damage and loss.. What a mess.

I remember cyclone Bola, we lived on  Ex Deputy Auckland Mayor Bill Cashmore's farm at the time. We couldn't get to town etc for days, and of course the water needed power. but thankfully the water tank was up high so gravity worked. Plus there was a good stream with beautiful water in it.

Glad you found the cover etc OHH.

There's quite a trickle coming down the back hill but it drops into the gully track within a meter of the fence.

Just got a reminder for my smear.. Im like Nah not going there while the rest of the country is a mess.  good enough excuse for me. I think my head needs to be in a better place for that.

Stay safe and warm everyone

We lived in Taupo during Bola. Coming through the forests afterwards was an education...

My Parents went to Mangakino to look at houses before Bola, brought one and took me down After cyclone Bola. it was many many years before I saw the forest with  Trees. All I saw were the broken trunks. They couldn't believe how bad it was.

Shopping online was horrendous, nothing could be delivered for days so I braved it and went down. No cat litter of course. 
Rang MrP to say I was going down, he had a hissy cos I wasnt going up there. His words when I called to say i got home was Is the Car ok?. I told him it was fine, dont worry about me, Im mentally unwell but dont let that Bother him, he said he had to go they were eating in the dining room... So I dont matter unless its to deliver him goodies and the safety of the car is more important. 

Im signing off after checking the local stuff. Just cant deal with it all
