Perhaps not exactly Silent Sunday — but we’re too busy eating for conversation right now.

After the rain

It wasn’t the downpour predicted, but there was rain overnight, leaving a few drops of moisture clinging to the jade plant this morning.

No visitors today — or any day soon

The 2016 earthquake centred around Kaikoura in the South Island, left its mark on many other parts of New Zealand.
Seven hundred kilometres away, the much-loved (and much-photographed) 1908 Bath House in Government Gardens, Rotorua, was deemed unsafe for use and closed for earthquake strengthening.

The processes of working out how strengthening can be done, how long it will take — and how much it will cost — are underway.
Meanwhile, there are no visitor voices in the rather lovely galleries, and no footsteps on the parquet floors.
