I catch up with other blogs with morning coffee..
Reading one this morning makes me realize how the weather has changed.
Pohangina Pete in Aotearoa New Zealand writes of his morning tea in words that transport you there.
Reading his blog and scrolling back through older posts reinforces the view that blogging is far better than farcebook. That is just for the Now, not for any considered reading and connection. It does have its uses, but...!!
We used to have breakfast on the bench by the back door every day..at least a cuppa if a little chilly. I can't remember the last time we did that.
Today, despite being "summer" we have 14C, feeling 11C due to 25 mph winds with regular 40mph gusts. Friends in Whanganui also have rain and 11C...but they are in winter!!
We had hoped to do more on the outside of our construction today. It appears that we will have to be content with doing what we can, like yesterday, under a loudly flapping tarpaulin!
Still, mustn't complain. The garden is getting a little much needed rain and if nothing else the wind is stimulating root growth in established plants!!

Today the South Island had snow (chains needed in high country), most of the North Island had rain and we had a glorious day (20 degrees). Rain forecast for tomorrow
I have just left a comment on pohangina Pete's blog admiring him for getting up at dawn.
I discovered an older app which I didn't remember setting up...on Youtube, where I'd apparently saved some videos of others. Interesting how things happen when we least expect them. Have a good weekend!
So far our summer has been over cast and chilly as well. It's not normal for us. It would almost make a person wonder about climate change, wouldn't it? Almost. (*shakes head sadly*)
Yes, it's jolly windy, isn't it? At least it's a bit warmer now, here anyway.
Ever the optimist! We're quite windy here too but nothing like that.
Here in The Dales the wind is well up in the 40mphs and the temperature is around 14 on the odd occasion when the sun is out but mostly it is cloudy. I have to keep reminding myself that it is almost mid June.
I'm feeling the cal to write and post more, as well. It's a gentle community these days.
