Was Celia your wedding harpist?
Waikikamucow (why kick a moo cow for those who can't pronounce Maori spelling) is at the back of Beyond - it's not here - we're civilized here!
However, a female dairy farmer was on telly last night, showing how one of her cows saved her life during the floods. She'd cut a fence to let the herd through to safety but they headed for the river - the Manawatu, heading for the gorge. She was trying to divert them when they pushed her in and they all went floating away. She was knocked under by passing cows until she managed to grab hold of one of them and it pulled her to safety. Otherwise, she would have been our first storm fatality. The cow doesn't have a name, just a number!
Another storm is on it's way - tonight and tomorrow, I think. Batten down the hatches!
