One good thing about all this rain and wind: no guy walking past talking loudly into his cellphone day and night and no people with headphones too apparently occupied to acknowledge others walking past.

The weather suppose to bring the best out of us but they say that people are at their most happiest with outside temperatures of 20-21c. Not at 5-10c. Have set the heat pump to 21c.

Will need today (Friday) to make sure things outside on my property don't fly away with the advent of forecasted strong winds for Wellington-Porirua-Hutt Valley. Southerly's not so bad where I am situated.
Ironically I will need to take down the wind spinner before it threatends to spin away. Place extra bricks on the barbecue and outdoor furniture covers.
Damn, won't be getting the wind chimes installed until next week. The wind might blow and whistle a tune anyway.

The search for a baby orca’s pod enters its fourth day, and volunteers and professionals continue to work around the clock to look after the stranded calf.
The juvenile orca became stranded near Plimmerton, north of Wellington, on Sunday, and since then he has captured the nation’s hearts, with hundreds heading out in the biting wind to catch a glimpse of the aptly-named Toa (brave).
If anyone spots an orca pod, they are asked to take note of location and direction of travel, to take pictures, and to call 0800 DOC HOT. If possible, people are asked to stay with the pod, while keeping a safe distance.
