A cyclone is a great excuse to do nothing but read. FILE
Worried about what you're going to do while Tropical Cyclone Lusi bears down on Rotorua? Fear not, online reporter Alison King lists 10 activities you can get on with.
- Huddle on the couch and watch your favourite DVDs. Maybe not a good idea to watch Twister or Wizard of
Oz.
- Bake a cake or try a new recipe you've been meaning to give a whirl. So long as you have power you can be productive in the kitchen. If you have kids they can help with the cleaning up.
- Curl up with a good book, or three. Stock up at the library or re-read some of your old favourites. And if you have a Kindle you can download new reads as you go through them.
- Create a blanket fortress with your kids. Use your imagination, you can be stuck in a hurricane shelter or pretend to be on a spaceship.
