Today is one of those glorious good days in Wellington, harbour is calm, light breeze, sun is shining. We are enjoying it because the whole North Island is under some kind of weather warning from this evening.
You’d never guess but there’s a serious cyclone incoming.
It’s been a massive few weeks and I may have overdone it. I had zero plans for Easter but I now also have a head cold to deal with (not Covid, tested three times and definitely not Covid) so making sure I really do take it easy.
We had a big event at work this week and I was on shopping duty. There’s something very satisfying about good packing.
Over the last couple of weeks we’ve had it all; rain, hail, wind, sideways rain with hail and the occasional glorious day with nothing but sunshine. No surprise then that this little weather icon has been getting a workout.
The big Kapa Haka Festival is every two years but that doesn’t mean nothing is happening in the off year. Regionals have started up and down the country to select the teams that will go to Te Matatini next year. Today I’m all set to support one of my work colleagues, admittedly from the comfort of my sofa but support is support.
From our desks we look out over planes, trains, automobiles and ferries so we’ve become quite expert traffic watchers. For some of us this has extended into downloading the shipping app but this week someone took it to the next level.
Yup, we now have a telescope.
