Looking Down From Space

The astronauts managed to get a pretty picture over our lovely county recently.  We live in Wellington, at the bottom of the North Island.  They admitted to not usually getting nice pictures of NZ, as it is often bathed in clouds, and it is usually when they are asleep.  See what they're missing!!

So mum saw Miss Belle last night and she was having fun at Uni.  Mum met up with her and took her to dinner and gave her all the supplies she needed.  Tonight they are having their toga party, which sounds like fun for the young ones.

Mum is enjoying the prospect of an early night and the fact that the painters said they would be finished tomorrow.  That sounds like fun for the oldies.   Mum says us girls will enjoy a bit of peace and quiet.

So - looking from space makes all of our problems seem small and insignificant doesn't it?

  8. We loved getting to see your lovely hometown from such an unusual perspective. If only the space station camera peeps could get a bit more of a close-up photo of you & mom waving from your backyard, it would be even better. Amazing how small the islands look when viewed from so far above the Earth. It does make one feel like a speck of dust & troubles less significant when viewed on that scale. So glad to hear that the painters are almost finished & you can get back to your regular schedule. It sure took them long enough. Good news that Miss Belle is enjoying college life & has Auntie close by as a safety net should she get homesick. My mom loved her years at university, although the middle-aged lady night now sounds more appealing that the toga party. Have a good time keeping mom company tonight Poppy. Maybe she will let you have your apartment box back soon.

  10. Pawsome photo Poppy! How good of the clouds to move away.

    We's glad to hear the painters are nearly finished, but probably not as much as you and mum. Enjoy your peace and quiet!

  11. That is a wonderful photo. Makes me think of the lovely photos taken by Chris Hadfield. Our earth is a pretty special place. We are happy to hear Miss Belle is enjoying university after the ordeal the other night. Oh those young ones and their toga parties. Meow from Jessica
