Cyclone Lusi

We are being told to expect very heavy rain and high winds on much of the N. Island over the weekend. A case of splicing the main brace and battening down the hatches. Sadly, it doesn't mean an end to the drought, as the land is so dried out and hard the water is more likely to run off it and flood areas rather than quench the soil. More issues for the poor farmers.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch, I have just left a lamb bone for our neighbour's dog in their post box. It is my good doggy deed for the day.

Otto doesn't mind that I cherish creatures great and small; he got a fruit box to play with today.
