On my drive to work today I noticed that spring has started here. It is kind of hard to tell as it is very green to begin with, but the trees that had lost their leaves are just starting to bud out. Also on the drive there are sheep... and now lambs, perhaps I will be seeing one of them on my dinner plate later in the month.
The next two weeks are the Universities reading weeks, so some of my flatmates have headed to the 'snow'. Don't feel to bad for me though stuck at work, as this weekend Jamie and I are headed to the Coramandel (which is a Hot Spring and Beach area about 2 hours east of Auckland). We are staying at his Flatmate's Parent's B&B. Looks like a nice place! We plan on going on a few hikes as well as a ocean kayak tour. I will post pictures once I get back.
I will be heading to the Airport next Friday to pick up Darrell who arrives for his working holiday here in NZ. Looks like it will be an early morning with him arriving at 3:30am. Calgarians are slowly taking over the country with Gill arriving for a competition in October as well!
Hope everyone is enjoying back to school... I am really sad it is still a year away for me (NOT)
