Weird, rode to work, it's the coldest I've been since I've moved to Auckland, would have only just dipped into single figures too! Maybe about 9 degrees?

Normally I curse my ssippot for a lack of vents, but it was quite chilly!

And naturally being Auckland, we don't get of any of the fun stuff, just heavy rain!

Ha, I spent last night outside in the howling wind and beating rain...

It was lovely and warm being in the spa pool... drinking our way through a fair bit of alcohol while the storm raged!! The pizza boy was a bit surprised to find people outside in the spa pool and was not sure where to sit the pizza as there was still snow sitting around the pool!

great way to enjoy a storm!!
