SUN! But it is still oh so windy! Went for a walk today after work, down to the harbour and there was some brave souls on boats (Dad I think you would be able to hack it!). So many white horses!
Weather surley has been a tricky bugger recently: What with the rain and wind in Wellington, Snow in midland North Island (its suppose to be spring here!). Also in neighbouring countries there has been nothing but natural disasters! And yesterday I felt an Earthquake! Now I felt it in the afternoon and it only lasted like a second. I did have a hard time to determin whether or not it was an Earthquake and not the fridge I was standing by doing that shudder thing fridges do. Apparently at 6ish last night there was a bigger earth grumble but I didn't feel it. Doreen (who is my boss at the hotel) said that she felt and heard it and her dogs went mental.
On the way into Wellington, on the bus, we were told that the last earthquake biggy was in 1840 when the harbour got some reclaimed land from the sea. Wellington is over due it's next biggy...
Also went up to the National War Memorial. Very impressive. There was some information about the Battle of Britain and I didn't realise there were so many Kiwi's that were in the RAF as pilots. Some stayed after the First World War and others joined pilot schemes during the 20's and 30's.

Just looked on the internet for Winston quotes and he was rather funny!

ReplyDeleteI like the Churchill quote about the Americans, very funny.
Am keeping fingers crossed that there won't be any major natural upheavals before you're trip is over there !!!! Laughed out loud at the fridge experience - who knows what you were feeling?!!***
