Well, the weather in New Zealand is atrocious at the moment. I think should move to Australia or Portland, at least for the summers. Windy, cold and wet. Ick. And by windy I mean cold southerlies from the Antarctic.

I travel to Sydney for work next week for two nights and three days. It will be the first time I been away from Lucy since she was a born. A bit nervous about the trip, Lucy will be fine, it's me that I am worried about.

I won't be going back to the US in August for a visit or to attend my reunion. Airfares simply went up to high. Next year perhaps we will make a visit.

Did you know that there is no yellow/orange cheese in New Zealand? They don't bother to dye it here. Probably a good thing.

Also, hard to find white eggs - not good around Easter time. Apparently kiwis think white eggs are of poorer quality (although there is no difference between brown and white, just the type of chicken) so the white ones don't sell. The also don't store eggs in the chiller, they just leave them out on the shelf.

Right, that's your my update for the day. It's Friday, we are hoping the weather is better for the weekend. We shall see.

Oh, Lucy loves marmite.

Hugs and kisses,
