Shopping, baking and presents heading to Sydney tomorrow afternoon! If I'm careful I might also be able to fit in a change of clothes and my toothbrush. Seriously I've got plenty of room, I just hope my packing skills are up to the task of getting it all there safely.Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Mega Advent Calendar
We have turned our building into an advent calendar. Each day from Dec 1st a new art work goes up and you can walk around the outside and see the calendar grow.
I have two in my windows including this lovely one from Mimi School

"Summer weather"?
If you take the first day of summer as Dec 1st (some say it's the solstice on the 21st) then we have had 13 days and the weather has been changable - not in a good way.
The count so far:
- fog bad enough to close the airport - 4 days
- tipping down rain - 3 days
- drizzle/showers/general dreariness - 4 days
- proper sunshine - 2 days
Most of this was accompanied by a cold south-westerly, not a gentle summer breeze but don't bother with an umbrella it will only end up inside out type wind. You know when you are in the presence of serious weather when you see trees like this! It's not called the wild west coast for nothing..jpg)

Breaking out the tree
Last year I pretty much skipped Christmas, the tree stayed under wraps and I don't think I was really sure where the decorations were. But this year I'm back in the swing. The tree has gone up, I'm well into the shopping, baking is soon to follow and if I get myself totally together cards will be in the post tomorrow. Yay!Friday, December 4, 2009
What the?
The previous post "Share me" was a test for the new Puke Ariki web site. Clicking the link might not take you anywhere because it's in the internal testing phase but at least we know the share function works!

How do you celebrate?
It's my first anniversary. I've been here a year. So how to celebrate such a milestone?
Work late, ditch the gym, order pizza, have a nice glass of wine and finally the first wear of the colossal squid T-shirt. Honestly, how could I not buy it.
