Ah, the sun! I used to hide from the sun. Now I chase it around like a dog does to its tail. And yes, I do the tongue flapping as well with much gusto.
It has been a harsh winter here in Christchurch lately. Not that it snowed. It just rained and rained. Last week was a respite with beautiful bright sunny days, but today the rain came back with a vengeance.
This morning the winds were even strong rendering my puny little umbrella useless. But if the rains were relentless, I was even more adamant. I braved it and rode the bus to work. Luckily I did not multiply, reinforcing the fact that my similarity with a Gremlin comes only to appearances.
And I know what you are thinking, but nope! I have curbed my appetite already. In fact, I am down 10 pounds since I arrived here in New Zealand. My daily walks and weekend treks are all coming to fruition.
I just wish winter would end so I can start running again.
So bye for now. This weekend, Christine, Onie and I will be heading out to Wellington for a windy weekend bivouac (except that we are staying in a four star hotel)! See you there?
