Totally torrential rain

Once again the school /work run was conducted in torrential tropical rain and flash floods today. Unbelievable that there are people out there driving without lights and driving too fast.
Our basement car park is flooded again and the flood on the highway nearby is unpassable as it is above car wheel height.
I'm happy to be back home cuddling Brynn and drinking a cup of tea.
Living here has definitely changed my perspective on rain. It's amazing how much can fall in a short space of time, and how well the drainage system copes in general. It makes even the heaviest English rain look like a shower!

Blogging again

Back to the blog again. A new phone means I have access on the go once more, so I'll try and post a bit more often.

#plasticfreejuly

In the spirit of reducing plastic this month I've made a couple of great discoveries. A local (NZ) meat and milk provider, that I've been using for a couple of years on account of them selling milk in glass bottles which they collect and reuse, has started selling their meat in compostable packaging. Their meat also just happens to be mighty tasty and they deliver to your doorstep. A great way to reduce 5 or 6 plastic meat trays and associated cling wrap each week. This company are also great to deal with online https://eketahunacountrymeats.co.nz/

Happy days. They all seem to love it. I'm feeling so blessed to have three gorgeous kids.
