I don't pretend to be as busy as some people claim to be but I have been up and at 'em early this morning.
We went for a walk along our closest track around the bay, inspecting the cyclone damage to the road, the track and the trees which will take a long time to be remedied no doubt as the council has more pressing concerns. I was pleased to see that my favourite tree at the top of the walk was undamaged.
I haven't been on this walk since before the cyclone and saw some new things including these:
I'm not sure whether the storm carried them in or not ...
It's remarkably quiet here today which is strange for a Saturday. Normally there's the sound of tractors launching boats, the boat motors, children swimming and laughing and of motor mowers and weed-eaters. It's eerie - kind of like that stillness before an earthquake or a thunderstorm.
Maybe I'll write a couple of posts while The Old Girl is working in the study.

I prefer volcanoes who just do their thing, spilling up mega tonnes of hot ash and lava!

Tell that to the survivors from the Whakaari / White Island eruption.
Hold on though, as Wellington harbour is a flooded volcano you might get your wish some day.
