KiwiCat's updates

Those in NZ will know but for the rest of my teaders: sorry, I should have postedon Monday to confirm that all was well. The storm ended up veering east and did far less damage than it might have done if it had stayed on track. We had a couple of strong gusts that made the roof creak and the town got cut off again by flooding, trees down and slips, and some areas lost power for some hours, but overall it wasn’t too bad.

We stayed inside and kept busy. The laundry renovations started with the demolition of the old hot water cupboard

Meanwhile I bottled some more pears, made some feijoa chutney and some home made tomato salsa.

I’ve got about 3 batches of pears to go though we’re now just eating them fresh, too. It’s a good sign my stamina is improving because a few weeks ag I couldn’t have managed so much, even with breaks between.

So it was a safe, happy and oddly productive weekend ignoring the weather outside.
