This was the sky first thing this morning. I know the colours are never as bright in photos and just pushed my phone through the venetian blinds but it shows the idea. We have a severe thunderstorm watch from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. so short and sharp. The centre of the country (Wellington area and the north of the South Island) had severe thunderstorms last night with many power cuts.
I have just walked down to the pharmacist to pick up a repeat prescription. It is just 750 metres away so a pleasant 20 minute walk there and back. I wanted to make sure I got home before the rain hits. We have had a few heavy showers but, luckily it was dry for my walk.
At least it looks as though we are in for a good week weatherwise after this storm.

I cancelled this week's Parkinson walk, the heavy rain hadn't started but with the strong wind and light rain it was most unpleasant. Luckily it looks as though we will have a good day this coming Monday so I have scheduled a bush walk. It is a few weeks since I started going to an Exercise Class on Thursdays and am starting to enjoy it. It is quite full on and much more energetic than I had expected but I feel good for it.
You get lots of exercise to keep you fit and healthy. Your walks through forest and bush always look to be very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI really try to keep fit and do various exercises such as sit ups in the mornings. I hate the thought of being immobile.
Deletephones never suite get the colours right do they..often enough losing the subtle colours that took your breath away initially and inspired the shot.
ReplyDeleteYet more rain...
Yes, heavy rain last night with heavy showers today but, hopefully, a fine week.
DeleteI hope blogger Tigger's mum near Havelock is ok
ReplyDeleteI don't follow that blog. I think it was just thunderstorms, haven't heard of any damage.
DeleteI am sharing the heavy rain and thunder storms with you, Susan! And I've also started weightlifting at the local gym in an attempt to build muscle and keep generally healthy. It is a new departure for me!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried weightlifting just use 1 or 2 kg weights with the exercises. Sounds good though although my shoulder may not like it.
ReplyDeleteA bit miserable here for the past couple of days. After such a long spell of hot and dry weather it makes it seem even worse.
ReplyDeleteCan't be long now till you are in the sun with your pool.
DeleteBeautiful photo. ❤️ I love taking walks in nature. Warm greetings from a retired lady living in Montreal, Canada ❤️ 😊 🇨🇦
