By the way...


...welcome to New Zealand winter.

Don't be fooled, though -- it's only this nice when you're in the sun. And also, as houses are both unheated and uninsulated, butter at room temperature is completely solid, and at nights one can often see one's own breath while watching TV. So, it's not paradise.

But it sure beats snow! ;-)

Your laptop looks like Madison? That's cool -- fairly useless customer service techs aside, my Gateway has been pretty good to me. As for internet connectivity, do you usually connect by wires or wireless? Let me know.

Maybe you should've posted a pic of today as "welcome to NZ winter".

The weather forecast for today was: cold, northerly this morning and wet gusty southerly this afternoon. Gusts 120kmh-150kmh thoughout North Island.

...driving your kids nuts? ;-) LOL Naw, I'm joking. Anyhoo, you're absolutely right -- four months in a maritime climate has darn near made me soft. But all the same, when was the last time YOUR kitchen was 6C? ;-)
