@lmika Heading south to cause problems for others. We were lucky. Further north they had more and there are problems with flooding etc.

@lmika Oh dear. Get well soon.

@ThisCJ Thanks. We’ve had steady rain — 120+ mm since midnight but no problems here. Like last time, it’s hit further north. Stay safe!

@lmika Thanks. The red warning extends south to Whangārei. We’re just a smidge further south than that. Braced though for plenty of wind and rain…

@ThisCJ Hmmm, by the looks of the wind map, if you go up a ladder you may just end up taking an unexpected flight… 😆

@ctt @AlexWolfe Luckily my visit to the UK was very brief — I was living in Germany at the time. They were worrying times though.

@ctt @AlexWolfe Puts me in mind of my first adult visit to the UK in maybe 1976. There were signs everywhere about not leaving packages unattended, not touching unattended packages, reporting them. That was IRA activity.

@ctt @AlexWolfe Well, the IRA blowing up the shop is an interesting twist in this memory lane trip. So lucky your grandmother visited when she did. 😀

@AlexWolfe Oh, yes. When I was at school I think I even had / heard about a calculator with a wee solar panel to power it. (Maybe that’s just a product of an aging mind… that was back in the 70s.)

@alexandra Thank you. I did manage a wee nape before breakfast and anticipate more naps during the day. 😆

@AlexWolfe Not quite the same thing, but sort of. I remember the thrill in 1963 when I got a transistor radio! Then in 1976-ish when I bought a digital clock. They both seemed pretty future-y to me at the time. How far we’ve come now…

@cherizilla It’s great news. Shame this same government removed an electric vehicle incentive when they came into office… One maybe positive from this whole horrible oil crisis caused by you-know-who is that it sharpens attention on renewable energy and perhaps climate change.
