We survived but sadly one didn’t in the heavy rain and flooding in and around motueka this week.Our home by the river became an island as I drove the van out onto the road at 3 in the morning before it was too deep to get it up the driveway.We were cut off and had to spend the better part of a day at someone’s house situated on higher ground. Serena and Stephanie had to walk the ponies out and up the hill to someone else’s place to graze.
Later that day we returned home as the flood waters lessened and I went in search of fuel. All roads were impassable except one, which the neighbors could use because their vehicle was able to drive through the deep water.I gave them my fuel container which they returned full and without charge.This has been adding to the stress of finding out I have a fatty liver and I guess other issues.Now I’m trying to not get stressed so as to alleviate some of the discomfort caused by anxiety.On a positive note, I’m working on my snoot book again.Serena has her first art class tomorrow where she will be teaching around 30 people art basics.I’m hoping she goes really well at it.
