Wild weather





Gale-force winds and pouring rain have been battering us for days.  Last night I picked Philip up from the station, telling him I wouldn't go to my exercise class later as I was too afraid of falling trees. However I changed my mind and started backing up the drive just before 7pm. Philip came running out in the rain to tell me not to go, as a tree had come down just round the corner, delaying Manami and the kids on their way home from swimming lessons.

The pics are from other suburbs.

Many schools are closed today.  I took Emma, but was very nervous driving the short distance. Muffy and I slept on the sofa last night, too afraid to stay in my bedroom as we have two large gum trees overhanging the roof.

I have never liked the wind (in this country we know it well)as I always feel so out of control and if truth were told, more than a bit scared.
