4th October to 10th October – Beggar all!

Thought I would throw in a quick update even though I have nothing interesting to share.

Once again, I have failed to take any photographs this week so those of you that can not read will have to employ someone to dictate this to you.  Then again, you won’t be able to read this so the last paragraph will be of no significance.

Like I said, this is a brief update, mere ramblings more than a delectation of indulgence and I would like to kick it off by mentioning the Harvest Moon.  Did anybody see it?  Apparently here we get it at a different time of year but the Full Moon this month was a big ‘un and could be attributed to the same Harvest Moon.  Anyway, that was Sunday.

Monday – Tania got a job.  Whoop whoop – well done Tania!  She seems to be enjoying life back at work but I am a little concerned as to where this leaves me.  I was getting used to having the doting little housewife to prepare everything for me.  Will this now come to an end?  Might I have to fend for myself again and try to figure out the difference between lemon and lavender washing up liquid? Time will tell.

This week we also had the coldest October day in 23 years (since records started) with a  maximum temp of just 8c.  A little further south from here, along the Napier to Taupo road, 600 people had to be rescued after being snowed in.  We didn’t see so much as a flurry.

On Thursday we had another Tsunami warning.  Looks like the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management had taken note of the criticism after the previous Tsunami warning and made sure that everybody knew of this one.  Unfortunately, somebody along the lines had managed to get 40cm mixed up with 0.4cm or something suchlike.  Needless to say, nobody noticed the impending doom that had been thrust upon us.  Still, better to be safe than sorry.  Aidan was out on a fishing boat when the warning came through so he would have been able to ride it out!

Aidan returns tomorrow and he is back to school on Monday.  The holidays are over again and life might return to a semblance of normality once again for a short while.

Apart from that I can not think of anything even remotely exciting to share with you.  Tania in her green fingered expeditions has seemingly decided that planting, watering, feeding and nurturing the seedlings is not enough.  She has started talking to the plants now as well.

Yun is aa fur noo.
