A polar blast coming for the lower South Island this weekend.

And hubby has to drive up to Christchurch on Saturday for his sister's 40th birthday party. I'm not going up for two reasons, I don't want to get covid from her birthday party, and we weren't given enough warning, and couldn't get the cats into our cattery over the school holidays.
