Today has been a wild, stormy day. We've had torrential downpours, hailstones and strong winds. Winter is a much maligned season. There are however, a lot of positives that come out of Winter and with the start of Spring more than two months away, I have decided to make a list of these things. In no particular order:
- Open fires
- Spectacular storms... thunder, lightning, the whole enchilada!
- Listening to rain on the rooftop whilst lying in bed
- Crisp, sunny mornings and crisp sunny days
- Queenstown covered in snow
- Milford Sound covered in snow
- Snow-capped mountains
- Fluffy slippers - some people may think that this is not a good thing - but they are wrong!
- Hot soup
- A good book
- Deserted beaches
- Puffing clouds of condensation
- Hot chocolate
- Hot toddies
- No grid-lock at Mission Bay
- No queues for ice-cream
- Don't have to worry about sunburn
- Movie marathons
- Better programming on tv
- One hour Mondays of 'Shortland Street'
- Fewer insects
- Pyjama days
- Ski season - not that I ski, however...
