Ceiling

C'est fini

We just have a little bit of trim to complete - and then some varnish on the ceiling (walls have been done).

Today saw an extreme weather event over much of the island. We got strong wind gusts and some (mainly horizontal) rain.  However it suddenly went very calm about mid-afternoon. Someone 'up there' threw a switch.  It didn't tail off; just went from hooley to zero in seconds.

Strange.

Power outages, trees and powerlines down, fires in remote areas (and no sky-bourne firefighting could get off the ground), trucks and vans blown off roads, .... Christchurch City closed parks, schools and public buildings in preparation. The running of public transport was even under review.

We did some time-consuming small finicky jobs indoors - fixing rickety chairs, improving the door latch, reducing a door gap the produced a draft,

Indoor days can feel productive for getting all these fiddly little tasks ticked off the to-do list.
