The power may go out, trees might come down, but we can survive the next week on 25kg of feijoas! #CycloneVaianu

#CycloneVaianu is supposed to bring us gale-force winds and heavy rain tomorrow and may cut power.
So I'm loading up my tablet with #cDrama & #kDrama to watch if we lose power AND watching #cDrama #LegendOfTheMagnate on our biggest screen while we DO have power.
Emergency Prep Drama- style 😂
Buckle up Aotearoa...

My Mr Darcy is currently guarding the front driveway just in case any other cats are thinking about evacuating to our place. He can be such a territorial wee bully boy at times. 😾

Remember to be good neighbours and share your bounty, Aotearoa. Be generous and be kind. Check on neighbours and help them with two or more person lifts, etc. Stay safe. 🫶
Supermarket was out of water, and almost out of sparkling too 😂
Filling up containers it is (am sure we'll be fine).

I put the blueberry plant back outside because I’d finished the last berry.
I guess I need to bring it back in again?

✅ Grabbed lots of feijoas before the wind gets too strong.
✅ Groceries purchased.
✅ Neighbour’s phone numbers collected.

My brain is working overtime…

Cyclone Vaianu: Civil Defence Emergency Alert has gone off. Looks like we hunker down from 6pm onwards in Bay of Plenty. I’m worried about Mauao and how she’ll fare through this.
Amazingly, no snacks since my last post… ☁️🌀
