MetService have issued an alert to the potential development of severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds tonight.

Heavy and thundery showers are forming over the high country north of Christchurch. These are then expected to drift southeast and there is a possibility that some of these may be severe, bringing downpours, hail larger than 20mm, strong wind gusts and possibly small tornadoes. These storms may affect Canterbury from Christchurch northwards as indicated on the chart.

Wind gusts of this strength can cause some structural damage, including trees and power lines, and may make driving hazardous. If any tornadoe s occur, they will only affect very localised areas. Rainfall of this intensity can cause flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys, and may also lead to slips. Driving conditions will also be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain.

For more information go to www.metservice.com...
This alert is valid until 8pm, 10 October 2017.

Hi Neighbours!
This past year I have been making Perfume and selling through my online Art Gallery (I am an artist :D ) and I have had a number of requests to come and smell them, and as I work from home it occurred to me to put them somewhere and I just wondered if anyone knew of any local, small businesses or even charity shops that might want to pick up a small perfume line and split the profits/20% commission? I sell them for $8 and so I am willing to sell them for $10 and the shop will gain $2 per bottle.... or something to that affect.. I use good bottles with labels, tags and pretty organza bags. They are Perfume oils which are **VEGAN, PHTHALATE FREE, GLUTEN FREE & CRUELTY FREE! -Locally sourced and lovingly handmade. I am seling them on trade me if someone wants to see what they look like?
