Strange Cloud

There was a strange shaped clod on Friday, way back from work. 

BTW. I don't know when this one has been built at Wakefield Quay and may be same time(?) the wharf part has been closed for people. 
Forks used to go there for fishing.  Although, I do not know if it is a permanent, may be because needed for busy load/unload operation of containers...

And Next Morning

And Soon After

Just Now

Open

Snowy Weather

I haven't seen the show on that hill for looooooooooong time or could be the first time in my life in Nelson. (Maybe my second time, actually).

Cold Spell

I wish I took this picture right after I got up, instead of an hour later, having started the fire, spoken to the plumber, (major leak problem outside) and such this morning.  When the surrounding was darker, the snow was shining and the hills even more dramatic.

I can't remember seeing snow this low, but I've just been informed by someone who was in Motueka this morning that the snow is right down to sea level in Mot, a first in 36 years!

It has been cold this morning, but what with plumber and rushing in and out to bring more firewood inside, (we now have four days' worth inside, I think,) I haven't felt too cold just yet.

Cold...

Good Morning!

Pasta Making Demonstration

They were making a very very very loooooooooooong pasta.

I'm not sure every time they do the same, but this is open during the school holidays at Farmers Market (every Wednesday).

@ Farmers Market

When I was passing by...  I will show you what they what they were doing today...  Ummm, tomorrow.

Wall / Fuel

Those are still for this season's stock.

Where there is Smoke

I've been rushing outside all morning to see how much smoke is coming from our chimney.

We got down to about 1/4 of our firewood last week so we ordered the second lot, which we were warmed were rain-wet.  Then it rained and rained and rained.  On the weekend we managed to evacuate most of the second lot to a sunnier and slightly windier (when it blows) position, stacked with plenty of gaps.  Every day I carry two or three nights' worth inside and stack them around the fire box.  It's been a rather analog season for this ex-townie.
