So, I was happy to hear that the weather of the last few weeks has not been exactly normal. This is apparently been a wet and rainy year, the worst since 1968. New Zealand got its yearly allotment of rain by August, and now we are having a moist spring on top of that! Fascinating pictures on the news Tuesday night of farmers fields in the far north under 3 to 4 feet of water. Hope those sheep can swim. But as compensation this week we have had fabulous weather. Most days it has been clear sky and mild winds, a bit cold early on but getting nice and warm as the week progresses.

Tamara of course misses this, as she spends the week in Sydney in Peoplesoft training. But she gets Sydney weather, which is a few degrees warmer so there should not be any complaints. Now I just hope Tam can get an earlier flight back so we can go to the big “Indian Festival of Lights” they are holding in Civic Square on Saturday!
