BATH TIME









The netting behind the bird bath is to stop the neighbourhood cat.

We had quite a storm last night and let the fire die down as it sounded as though the chimney was going.  Today the forecast was for thunder storms but we awoke to some mist which soon dispersed and it is a lovely 19 degree sunny day.  Once again the bad weather has gone further east with flooding on the Coromandel Peninsular.

  1. Yes we got the storm too but it was more rain than wind here. As for the bird bath our cat would be too busy staring at the birds than anything else.

    1. Our cat doesn't usually go there but there is one that is a real problem.

  2. You wanted rain, and it sounds like you have now received it in abundance.

    1. We have netting all over the garden to try and stop the "neighbourhood" cat.

  6. That looks a really well enjoyed bath!
    Glad to hear that you are getting enough rain now, although the weather seems to have been "interesting" further South, with snow and ice, and 10C even further South!! Coromandel does seem to get it bad, but I suppose it wouldn't be so lush without so much rainfall!

    1. Earlier in the week there was a temperature high of 3 degrees at the bottom of the South Island. Coromandel Peninsular had nearly a metre of rain.
