Autumn is upon us here in New Zealand.

Leaves are changing colour.

With the warm days and lots of rain,

toadstools came out

showing off their colourful heads.

Trompie had his last haircut before the cold is upon us!

This morning everything is foggy.

From my doorstep.

We are expecting

Cyclone Cook.

It is already battering the Northern part of the North Island

and is slowly moving down south to us.

We are warned to stay inside,

have our emergency bags ready.

The next 48 hours is going to be tricky to everyone.

Winds of up to 160km p hour are expected and Lots of rain.

Bly julle het toe net reen gekry, stuur Kaap toe! Ons het gister ‘n paar millimeter gekry. Paasnaweek is dikwels nat en op hierdie stadium gee ons bepaals nie om vir die nat nie.

  Jammer dat jul nie nader is nie. Kon dalk die wind bietjie oorgestuur het met die oorvloedig reën wat geval het. Alles is deur en deur nat. 50 jaar gelede was hier ook so n erge storm en n skip het gesink agv van die storm. Mense dink to nogal terug aan daardie tyd.(geskiedkundige geleentheid!)

Aan jou gedink toe ek hoor van die storm…. maar dit lyk my jy is nog in NZ en is nie deur die wind die see ingewaai nie.

  Ha ha, ja jong, as die wind so erg waai kan dit jou sommer Australië toe waai of Suidpool toe. Gelukkig is huise darem redelik bestand teen die aanslae van die natuur. Die geweld van n sikloon is egter baie erg as dit so reg oor die land(eiland) trek. Daar is nie veel spasie nie. As mens weer sien sit hy weer in die see! Dit veoorsaak net baie opeenhoping van mense en verkeer, veral nou met die paasnaweek!

  The toadstools are very special. They are not always there. Lucky for us the cyclone took another direction It wasn’t that strong when it reached us last night.

  Trompie is mar nie te gelukkig nie. Veral as dit so reën word hy gou nat tot op sy vel en hy hou nie rerig daarvan nie. Hy’s nie mal oor reënjas dra! Storm het toe darem nie hier te erge gewoed nie. Net bopunt v N Eiland het goed deurgeloop.

      Ja wat, die brakke moet maar doen wat die ou Mies met hul doen. Dit is beter om n droë hond te hê as n natte! Ek blaas Trompie droog met my haardroër.

        Ons doen dit met Genis ook, veral as ons by die strand was. Die probleem is, ons skuifdeure na die tuin toe staan heeldag oop en hy loop soos ‘n stertjie agter sy pa aan buite. Nou weet jy hoekom al my meubels beskermende oortreksels het.

        Wat mens nie alles vir hul sal doen nie. Trompie wag netjies op n handdoek as ons inkom sodat ek sy nat pote en gesig kan afdroog. Ek het n hout vloer en hy hol dadelik mat toe as ek hom nie keer nie en eers afdroog nie.

  Trompie is maar my hart se punt. Ek verwonder my ook aan die paddastoele as hul so oornag uitkom. Ek klop aan die deurtjies maar ffetjies maak nie oop vir reuse nie! Dankie, die sikloon het toe noord uitgewoed en hier net wind en reën gebring(baie reën en wind)

      Daar is steeds hewige buie en wind wat waai. Die so steek darem tussenin sy kop uit. Ek geniet die paddastoele baie, my verbeelding hol sommer weg met my as ek hulle sien. Juis n mooi grootte vanoggend gesien en afgeneem.

  Thanks, I also love this time of year. The cyclone caused havoc in the Northern part. It had calmed down a bit when it passed here. It is on its way south now. It’s going to meet another front and will mix everything up down there(South Island)

  Me too, out of a fairytale! Trompie feels a bit naked. He does not really like a coat but when it is very cold I put it on when we go for our walks. Problem is, we get winter rain too, so he has to wear a patched raincoat.

      Yes, Trompie also has his coats. When his hair is long he doesn’t feel the cold that much. He loves to be under his blanket. We don’t have much severe cold here( only snow high on the hills once in a while.)
