    Crikey, this would be an historic occasion

    The wind isn't blowing in Welly.

    Came home on from a week away Saturday. Came around the bays and saw the beach volleyball was getting blown about and it has blown hard since.

    Now on Wednesday its finally calmed down. My daughter reckons its because she's come home for a couple of weeks - let's hope it holds out - enjoy the time Welly people. We finally bothered putting the umbrella up and ate lunch outside.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Crikey, that's bloody still for Welly.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    What you talking about?

    Riffer certainly wouldn't have hit 31km/hr at our house today and it is just so still now. When's the normal storm due back?

    To still, hot as heck, and we do get a few calm days over summer, I could look in my diary at tell you which ones because for us they are killers.
    Our current client is wondering why the big Macrocarpa we are removing still has a full top canopy while we have all but dismantled the rest of it. Nothing like a 15m wide sun shade when your working your butt off. The rest comes down tomorrow.
    I came home and headed for the nearby swimming hole with my labrador in tow, and aside from the dog trying to rescue me every minute it was bloody bliss.

    Please Wellington, bring back the breeze

    How nice. It's warm already, and average windspeed overnight has been... wait for it ...


    Average windspeed 0.0 kmh (0.0 kts)

    Happy now Merv?

    I think Grays Road is calling... taking the medium length way to Tawa today for work. Pity I have meetings or else I could have been persuaded to go via Paekakariki.
