The real pain in the ase is that Mama Jo and I have to get up at 6 and drive 140km to Doubtless Bay to tie our caravan down! Tie me caravan down, sport. Tie me caravan down etc

Well, the storm last week saw beach properties at Piha beach getting particularly wet, some pieces floating away.. will be a laugh to go down to the beach for this one.

I'll still be out and about on the bike.. luckily I decided to wait for *this* weekend to get quite a few tasks sorted. I'm a genius..

[niero]

Bah, I used to do a bit of work for a moving company. They're actually pretty good at keeping everything dry. I have much respect for the amouont of effort some of these people go to, to get complete customer satisfaction..

[xwhatsit]

Poo. Oh well, I have to get to work tomorrow night somehow.

Gusts of 180... Me thinks a spare pair of undies is the least of your worries. Stay safe if your riding in that crap!

AAAAAND...the met service website has crashed. Its a good thing that in a time of civil emergency you know that you can rely on them aye?

[TOTO]

When you think about it 120kph is only 78mph...hardly serious...UK often has 100mph winds as well as places like America which have hurricanes etc.....NZ does have wobbly knee syndrome

Well it's pretty awful in Coromandel with water getting sucked up into the air off the harbour. Hate to think what it's like in Whitianga. I thought we'd got most things battened down ok but forgot about a big ceramic pot on our deck. That's now in pieces after getting blown over.

Biggest worry is the coast road getting blocked with fallen trees. We're heading for Akl airport tomorrow, going overseas to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary!

Xbox 360, check
Unhealthy food, check

Bring on the storm.

Thought about leaving now and staying the night in Auckland? That coast road is not friendly in this weather for sure, last weather report I heard said probably not going to reach Auckland till midnight, tonight will be the kicker I reckon.
