How cold is cold?

I'm back ... having survived a weekend in a cold place ... almost the coldest I've been in fact ... a place down the bottom (I use the term fairly loosely) end of the country ... Invercargill ... a quick trip down to visit friends, one completely surprised, the other in on it ... much fun. One performing in the local "Rocky Horror Show" stage production - excellent -

But the cold, did i mention the cold? A very big market there for thermals and jackets. One of the more unusual items I saw for sale down there was Jandals... I have no idea when any local would wear them?? Maybe on holiday, wherever they went ... as it would sure feel tropical next the their hometown ... Sunday was a pleasant day .. around lunchtime the mercury had crept up to the zero degrees celcius mark, super! Perfect time for a quick trip to Bluff. Thankfully there was a bit of windchill in the air to bring it back down below zero. Also a perfect day for a trip to the beach there "Oreti"... where parts of 'The World's Fastest Indian" were filmed ... quite enjoyed the movie (other than Sir Ant's accent - please tell me we don't sound like that!)

I have arrived ...

Well, here I am. Moving with the times ... moving forward you might say? Or just about keeping up? I am now a member of the wider community known as bloggers ... all this technological stuff to keep up with ... computers, cellphones, email, playstations ... and now Blogs. Where will it end?

Well there goes 5 mins of my time on this cold winter day ... sitting in air-conditioned comfort? (i use the term loosely) ... beats being outside ... and I'm all blogged out.

Over and out ...
