MID-MONTH WEATHER REPORT
Although the temperatures have been almost average at 19.1 degrees, it seems cooler due to the number of cloudy and cool, windy days. However, the dominant weather factor to date has been the lack of rain, with less than 10 mm.
This is the second consecutive cooler than average month, presumably resulting from the El Nino effect, with the statistics telling us that it’s the driest in eight years and coolest in seven.
It seems unlikely November will be a summer month this year, unlike the previous two, and that drought conditions will prevail through summer, despite the MetService having predicted the possibility of showers for just about every day.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

80 years ago:
About 80 years ago I was taking photographs with a Kodak Box Camera including the 2 uploaded photos of the house where we were living in Epson, Auckland. The ground floor walls were built with stones and the washhouse had no windows so it was perfect for developing film and printing photos. And 80 years later I still enjoy taking photos, even without the Box Camera😁. The house was destroyed to be replaced by apartments. It feels like a part of me has been stolen and destroyed.😦😦
Bathroom Reno
