In the pics below.. Jess is standing right outside the cafe that was jus shown on TV3 news (with the fire engines & sandbags outside..)

I hope you get to keep your feet dry, Jen!

Could even take a jetboat to work. Although I can't imagine the local constabulary being too impressed with people doing Hamilton turns down the road, but I suppose there's not much they could do about it.
