Jul. 26th, 2008 11:06 am1) Dear Dorothy L. Sayers,
Why do you have to belong to that generation which is dead? I would dearly love to meet you. I love reading your work, and I love Lord Peter Whimsy.
Very Disappointed,
Me.
2) We're having weather today. The metservice is issuing all sorts of warnings of winds up to 150km/h (non-metric, not so fast), and someone in the NZ Herald likened the low over us to a mild Atlantic hurricane.
Thus far, in Auckland, I've seen rain. Not much wind. But the news sites are saying stay home, don't go out, keep pets indoors, and make sure you have a survival kit.
I'm afraid all this excitement may come to nothing, but it's nice to know that:
a) we have a survival kit
b) we're fine if there's a power cut (though it will hamper posting) due to candles, gas cooking and the fire
c) we actually have enough food in the house for two days that we wouldn't need to use the survival kit, because as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zcatcurious said, it's not nice food.
Once I can persuade the black-and-white monster on my knee to leave without growls and threats of dismemberment, I'm going outside to pick up the recycle rubbish which has overflown its temporary bin, and put it where it belongs. And try and find enough firewood that's dry (an on-going saga).
