| Auckland International Airport terminal. Flooded! |
Wie geht's?
The wild weather in Auckland recently made me consider the safety and well-being of my Auckland whanau and friends. I was surprised, shocked even, to see how many Auckland dwellers there were when I went to Facebook and did a search of my friends.
A huge proportion of them!
Ich bin ein Aucklander in that I was born there (on Maungakiekie) and grew up there (close to Maungakiekie in Royal Oak/One Tree Hill and Mt Albert). I left for the wider world (New Plymouth and beyond) when I was 25. From time to time I enjoy going back there and catching up with mates.
I have returned a few times to live (the last time was 1995 to 2000) but I'm not sure I could live there again. Although, Jacky has been making noises about wanting to live in a city again, so I wouldn't rule it out necessarily.
The flood damage was vast and confronting and my heart went out to all of those whose lives were affected. Kinship. A bond.
Aucklanders! Kia kaha!!
Love and peace - Wozza
