Well, what a difference a couple of days makes ? A "controlled burn" got out of hand and with no snow or rain lately and a fierce, dry easterly wind, the fire service have got their hands full, luckily, it was nothing to do with us !

My local meteo station, this morning.

After yesterday's gluttony we had a nice lunch at Playa Blanca then watched the rising tide fill the rock pools at the lighthouse.

Not strictly taken today because I couldn't get access to the internet from our wild camping spot in the Marlborough Sounds at the top of the South Island, NZ.
The MacCormack tractor has been towing boats in and out of the water since the 1950s.
We stumbled across the old bus conversion hidden in the bush. This is what Kiwis might call "glamping". It comes complete with a long drop toilet.

Yes, and he'd just cleaned the kitchen sink too. Bustards.

These pics show how our island emerged.

First the molten lava solidifying in the sea. Then the sand covering it.
And this year the grass covering that..

Ditch the Rockwool, fill the walls with Moose hair, stack the logs up, -28 C outside + 22 C inside

Below the original 1948 house (Moose hair insulation) which is better insulated than the 2019 house (far middle right) (Rockwool insulation) It was colder back in the 1940's than it is these days 1940 record low of - 43.5 C

"The coldest temperature ever measured in Estonia is -43.5 degrees, recorded at the weather station of the regional capital Jogeva in eastern Estonia on Jan. 17, 1940."

Is the cat expected to go outside in those temperatures?
I can imagine it poking its head through the cat flap and rapidly retreating to the fireside.

Yes the cat pottie is under the fir tree. They like to go out as their winter fur is too thick to stay indoor for too long.

Is that bridge of orchy?

[glenn2926]

Bird life starting to get busy on the cut. A random bridge and a view down the five rise. A few spaces starting to appear at the moorings and quite a lot of action around the narrow boats. Looks like some are preparing to move on as the weather improves.

 

[glenn2926]

Just mucking about on the north side of the valley today. Grand day getting warmer. Loads of bird life but rubbish camera skills. Red Kite, jay, kestrel, etc
Just a picture of expectant mums.

 

[bobandjanie]

Took the motorhome in for a service today so an early start, it wasn't long before the trousers legs were unzipped and fleece removed.
