morning ladies 
We can quite literally see the end of Cyclone Gabrielle. She's tucked in along the Kaimai Ranges and the very end of it looks like it is over Te Aroha. It's still windy though.
Our son text me last evening to check we had power. He had been keeping an eye on us from a far lol. One of the small perks of having a son work for a power company. He could see we did but still wanted to check.
Today I take our friend to Waikato Hospital for a small procedure so that's pretty much my day. I measured the lace fabric last evening and there is 2.5m of useable, uncut lace, 1.5 meters still attached to the lace but has been cut and a square just over half a meter still attached to the end of it all. So, a pretty hefty amount of dress lace that someone may have a use for.
The garden seems to have survived the wind. 'Planting' those old fence posts to tie the dahlias and taller plants too has paid off. They rattle around in the wind but are still standing.
We found what caused the loud bang in the middle of the night. It was a massive branch falling off the willow tree on the farm across the road. The tree looks very lopsided now and luckily the cows were in another paddock for the night as they had been grazing there during the day.
Take care, there is still a bit of sting in Gabrielle's tail for some of us.
Happy crafting
