SATURDAY – SUN, RAIN, WIND AND HAIL!
Just a typical winter Saturday in Wellington NZ
I rained heavily through the night. Not that I heard it as I was in a deep, dreamless sleep for about 7 hours. But this morning the evidence was there. All the cars parked in the street were wet!
I got up and made some tea and toast to take back to bed with my book for an hour. Soon I was disturbed by the patter of hail on the roof. That was so strong and hard that it left a white coating on the patio.

Having been disturbed I got up. The hail and rain had gone to be replaced by (almost) gale force winds. They were so strong that the patio furniture was blown around.
And now the sun is shining brightly. So what else will the weather have in store for us today?

Keep warm and have a good weekend, Judith. Looks like the Southerlies are going to be around for a while–frost here this morning!

When weather is like that, inside is the best place to be. Tea, toast and reading a book in bed sounds lovely!

I don’t much care for those high winds. We get them from time to time, but rarely on a day when one would like to have a breeze! lol
