Windy Welly
Strange, me and Bella were the only one's on the beach this morning!
The umbrella was of no use, I almost landed in the south island!
Flights, planes, ferry's all cancelled.
Just about to head to work, was hoping the school was closed but no such luck.
Now do I be mean and turn off the heat pump which Bella is happily sleeping in front of, or be the big softy and leave it on for her?

I lost my hat
I have had it for ages. Taken it to the Rockies, NY, Boston, France and the first day I wear it in NZ I loose it.
Too wet and windy for me.

Ours is well tethered down, but quite a few reports of families waking up this morning minus trampolines...

Re: Windy Welly
Our wheelie bin must have had a tiring night, it's lying down. I'm not restoring it to the perpendicular until the winds drops later today. Thankfully it was empty.

Re: Windy Welly
Well I got some extra business today due flights being cancelled so it's not all bad news. 
Ooops, sorry folks in Welly - I hear we're expected to get it soon.

Venturing out, it reminds me of the '87 storm in the UK...

Re: Windy Welly
I rang someone to come fix mine, but he was too busy. That is what he told me to do (nice man) and it worked and cost me nothing. We didn't end up loosing our power, but it was a bit of a wake up call to get a kit organised.
