Let it snow!

Only two weeks ago word on the news was that it had been exceptionally warm for this time of the year. Skiing season was almost to begin, and there was no snow whatsoever on the ski slopes of New Zealand. The past week has made quite a change in that. At the end of this week a whole lot of hail and snow made it clear winter had started. In Invercargill it was mainly hail that we got, and one frightening thunder at 6am on Friday morning. The mountains got their share of snow, which showes promise for the skiing season. Some photos in the newspaper showed a nice snow carpet on the roads north-east of Invercargill. Unfortunately, the snow didn't stay on the ground in Invercargill itself.

In the meantime, I have changed my working hours. I now work 9 hours a day from Monday to Thursday, and only 4 hours on Friday! Very nice finishing work at noon on Friday. :-) It was only my first week with my new hours, but I loved it!

Th-th-th-th-that's all folks! Until next time!
