NaArMaMo Day 22

A good job I got a picture of those geraniums and white flowers when I did, because we had a storm last night. The garden was very green this morning:

Mmm, green! Shiny, wet, bright green!

This particular corner of the world is extraordinarily green for the time of year. Normally by this time, it's looking a little bit frayed round the edges, but it's still a very, very lush green.

It feels like spring. Spring heading directly into autumn. Very odd.

We seem to have had a remarkably wet winter, too.

(I'm failing to find figures to back this up, but it doesn't matter, because the figures lie anyway. Lie, I tell you!)

It's been much wetter! NIWA is the site to go to, but they haven't done August yet as it's still going. :-P Here are the details for July. :-(

But it hasn't rained today yet!

A-ha! I was foolishly thinking MetService would have it, but I couldn't find it - thank you!

It's lovely here today :)

NIWA's the place! I had a contract there a couple of years ago and I go to their site first.

It's grey here, but it's dry and calm and those are both pleasantly novel.

Greg was in your town this last week training a new client and is seeing family in Christchurch for the weekend. I hope he's got equally good weather. [uses hopeful icon]
