Yes, we got the end of that cyclone and unfortunately one of the towns over in the East Coast suffered major flooding throughout the whole town and are about to get a 2nd dose - it's very sad. People's homes have already been condemned, businesses have been ruined and families are devastated. But we're very resourceful and we'll get through it.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate the comment Mark :-)

Yes wind surfing Beau :-)

Thank you Mary, much appreciated :-)

So true Attila, thanks for the comment :-)

Paskalye bayraminiz kutlu olsun !

Thanks Roy, and yes I'll post an update as things progress :-)

Thanks Eric, that's wise advice, unfortunately it's advice some people here don't heed to, as many families are still going to risk travelling on the roads, through the storm to enjoy their Easter break - not very responsible at all. Thanks for stopping by :-)

I know. Too many people are thinking that accidents happen only to the other people.

Thank you Anthony, much appreciated :-)

I couldn't agree with you more Clare, but yes we're fine, I live in Whanganui we're not expected to have any major disruptions, but we are used to preparing for events like these - flooding of the Whanganui river has become an annual event so we're all ready for the worst - and I have my wine too! But we can still try to enjoy the Easter break :-)

Thank you Ty, much appreciated :-)

Thankfully, I live on the West Coast so we should escape the worst of the storm, but you weather patterns can change in an instance. Thanks for your prayers Sylvia :-)
