This was the sky first thing this morning. I know the colours are never as bright in photos and just pushed my phone through the venetian blinds but it shows the idea. We have a severe thunderstorm watch from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. so short and sharp. The centre of the country (Wellington area and the north of the South Island) had severe thunderstorms last night with many power cuts.
I have just walked down to the pharmacist to pick up a repeat prescription. It is just 750 metres away so a pleasant 20 minute walk there and back. I wanted to make sure I got home before the rain hits. We have had a few heavy showers but, luckily it was dry for my walk.
At least it looks as though we are in for a good week weatherwise after this storm.

I cancelled this week's Parkinson walk, the heavy rain hadn't started but with the strong wind and light rain it was most unpleasant. Luckily it looks as though we will have a good day this coming Monday so I have scheduled a bush walk. It is a few weeks since I started going to an Exercise Class on Thursdays and am starting to enjoy it. It is quite full on and much more energetic than I had expected but I feel good for it.
