Not feeling very festive today here in New Zealand. Mum saw these roses in the shops yesterday and thaught that they were pretty.
The cyclone has flooded much of the top half of New Zealand, with bad flooding in Napier/Hastings particularly in the area where mums parents used to live, as well as Auckland, Northland, Gisborne and the Bay of Plenty. We hope their spot at the cemetery is ok. Its up high on a hill so should be fine. Watching the news shows lots of devastation to good farm land and orchards. Food prices will rise even more!!
Luckily mum had the day off to relax with me. As soon as she got up she rang the vet to rearrange my arthritis injection from today to next week, silly to go out in the storm if not urgent. We have just had light rain and wind all day, but we are ok. We live up on a hill, so the rain doesn't flood here. We'll be hoping this weather blows over soon. Happy Valentines Day to you all friends.

Those roses are lovely. I'm sorry about your flooding and glad that you and Mum had some time to relax and are not in a flood-prone area. Our weather here can be quite wet, windy and flooding at times. Wishing you and Mum Happy Valentine's Day from Lukas.
ReplyDeleteI read about the severe flooding in the North and my thoughts are with all those affected by it.

Purrayers to all impacted, Poppy. I hope you and your mum have a calm day. Happy Valentine's Day. ❤️

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your ok.
ReplyDeleteRoses are beautiful. But so expensive. Luckily I just grow my own. Much cheaper and I can have them any time I want. Well during the summer anyway
Happy Valentine's Day, Poppy and Mum Julie. We're purring for everyone that's in the path of that cyclone.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you and your mum are all right, Poppy. It's sad and worrying to see destruction elsewhere, though. Let's hope it looks worse than it is.
