Colour my world

May 28, 2020, 5.00am bus just thundered in! They say when you get older you don’t sleep in, just as well isn’t it?

Yesterday was just rough! Rough sea, rough wind, warmer in the morning turning real cold early afternoon and rain all day, mostly at right angles driving in from the sea.

The morning, however, brought colour to my doorstep…

The Rosellas are getting bold in this humanless world and comfortably sitting right outside my French doors while I work. The apple on the top of the tree may have something to do with his boldness.

George ran, came back very wet, I just sat at my computer most of the day until around 4pm, when it lightened slightly. Went for a walk to see the cooped up canine, and did a couple of laps of the driveway, at least he did.

Walked back, through Riverhaven, to wish Len (bubble buddy) a happy birthday. Had a Speights and a catch up for a bit until his mates arrived, boys night. Back via the cottage and over the fence (in the wet even) In weather like the last few days I’m sure the gate could be unlocked – it’d be like in a 24 hour washing machine.

The afternoon visitor, definitely to the apple, was a Tui. These noisy guys have become prolific in the trees around Waiwera over the lockdown…and are becoming bold and cheeky, and very loud at times!

So the apple is still a temptation and succeeds to push one outside the comfort zone. The moral of a wet day (and week ahead) is reach for the Apple and step outside, even in the Rain! Oh and it’s nearly the weekend, a long one!
