two very good reasons to miss tv ....

as long as you have a DVD player. why wait 7 days for the next episode when you can get at least 12 episodes to watch all at once ..... ?

why would i live anywhere else

welcome to new zealand - at christmas.
the pohutukawa are in full bloom, the sky is clear and the breeze is warm.

we are having more subtropical (yes -rain) weather around december and january, and there has been a fair amount of bitching about the weather around home lately. still, it wouldnt be christmas if there was not the opportunity to have a christmas breakfast bbq, to don our shorts and tshirts and have a little game of backyard cricket. with days like this - why would i want to live anywhere else in the world?
i know, i know, any kiwi reading this will have some comment to make about our weather. probably something to do with the fact that december was the wettest and coldest on record. so what!!! the weather is the one thing that we cant do anything about - so why sit around complaining about it? do something else. i think that the seasons are changing - summer is arriving a little later but the good news - is it stays around a little longer too.
