" It rained and it rained and it rained. Piglet told himself that never in all his life, and he was goodness knows how old⁠—three, was it, or four?⁠—never had he seen so much rain. Days and days and days." From " Winnie-the-Pooh: IX In Which Piglet is Entirely Surrounded by Water" Fortunately the soul is so free-draining that this was gone within a hour or two of the rain stopping. Unfortunayely while it continued to rain our land is the recipient of the directed run-off of 4 sections above us - each in turn redirecting water flowing on to theirs from above until it is a single large stream pouring straight through our boundary. 326mm (about 11 inches) fell over 2 days. It was more or less stopped by 0600 on Saturday morning when we were due to set off to Nelson for my last day of in-house Pilates teaching training. However State Highway 6 (to Nelson) was closed between Havelock and Pelorus Bridge and had been since 1900 the previous evening. Some of ...

Calci Worms

F started dancing about and shouting for Mr B. He couldn't come because I had him pinned by one of my well applied wrestling moves. It was broad daylight and she said (she said) there was a hedgehog marching down the garden. I know' because I have already sniffed out ages ago' where it comes in under the corner of the side gate. (Unfortunately the hole it uses is not large enough for me to squeeze out - even in my new svelte shape! Yes, I have lost a bit of weight, but it makes it easier to jump up to things like the desk and the ironing board.) Hedgehogs aren't meant to be out in daylight but this one clearly hadn't read the manual. It was marching purposefully down the lawn, sort of jumped tumbled off the edge of the low retaining wall around the concrete patio, clambered into the undergrowth where the rhubarb is and disappeared - well it is in there somewhere but well disguised and F wasn't going to scare it off. No surprise then that later that evening ...

Little India and a Quiz

Deepavali 2023 is 12 November.... Little India is 2 stops on the MRT (mass rapid transit) beyond my apartment on the way home from work. I'm made up. Tigger would have loved it from the deck of his carriage. So much colour. So much good food. So much unpackaged, choose your own, buy as much or as little as you need/can afford. Garlands of fresh flowers. Scent. Spices. Preparations being made for Diwali. Decorations. With the lights on but probably better when 'proper dark' Round the next corner a street of jewellers and colourful clothing emporiums. Stunning Nehru jackets outside one shop, saris the next, more garlands, heady scent drawing honey bees. You might want to turn the sound down for these. It was the food I came for, so it was mainly the food I photographed. Yam Aunty will blitz the quiz, I might just scrape in a pass mark, but I have already been befriended by a shopkeeper lady who has offered to guide me around the rest - names, how to select them, how best to ...

Nature Friday - Rocks

Are rocks nature? This one just looked very awesome inside when it broke open in my attempts to dig it out and move it. Here's some tiny flowers and a mushroom in case rocks don't qualify. (Photos taken in the autumn here.)

Ate a Bad Oyster

Isn't that what humans say when there is no other explanation for food refusing to stay down? It started on Sunday morning and lasted about 24 hours, but I'm feeling better now thank you for asking. I have some even newer food for sensitive tummies (the other new food, expensive stuff, was labelled grain free, no colouring, no preservatives etc etc etc, and it might not have been the food, but I don't want to eat it now having recycled a couple of different flavours of it.) F is on holiday this week so I have an attentive nurse. Not that Mr B isn't attentive but he whisks me off to V-E-T and I get jabbed. I heard them discussing it on Monday but fortunately my rumbly tummy settled down, and there were no more surprises under the bedroom chair. Mr B is doing stuff under the sink again but I'm not supervising. It is cold out and in my invalid state I have been permitted to hug a nice warm radiator and have found that preferable to hanging out under a sink inspecting l...
