Bleak and miserable
It was a foggy morning on the plain today. It finally turned into rain about midday. A few canceled flights.

Painting of Punakaki River Valley.
Punakaiki River Valley
by K John Toomer.
I was visiting a friend in a rest home when this painting on the wall in the foyer caught my eye. I thought I recognized the area, it's the Punakaiki River on the West Coast of the South Island, NZ. As a child I spent a lot of summer weekends in this area as my uncle had a batch on the river and he frequently took a carload of cousins, aunties and uncles out there for the day and after the batch was completed, for the weekend.

A new path
A new path has been made up to the floodbank ...
... and the Silverstream is almost back to its normal level but running quite swiftly still.

Matariki
A short explanation of Matariki taken from the internet.
Matariki, also known as the Māori New Year, is a time of celebration, remembrance, and looking forward, marked by the rising of the Matariki star cluster (Pleiades) in the winter sky. It's a time for communities to gather, share stories, reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and plan for the future.

Pasta meal
I cooked the meal for Friday Light this week. So much easier now that they are happy with a one pot meal instead of the meat and veges we used to cook.
