Yeah, yeah, blue skies....yawn......snow....etc














So boring to have only photo's of snow and blue skies. Spook took the afternoon off to go snowboarding but spent more time sitting at the summit than doing anything more active. It is a nice start to the spring. Beautiful moonlit nights and a pretty hard frost are becoming the norm.
Finn's friend Thomas wrote and told me that they are either being blasted by wind and rain in Wanaka, or boiled in 33 degrees. When we left at the end of September, I was envious of all the people coming out of the garden centre with things to grow, as the promise of spring was very much in the air. Now I need stop being envious and go and get a couple of things that might grow here. Spook is not finding the time to get the rotovator sorted so that he can prepare some ground, as he needs a car to work so that he can go and get the rotovator and he needs the sunshine and snow to go so that he can stay at home. It is not easy for him.
Finn scored a try at rugby training last night, but skint his knees as the ground was frozen solid. Meg went to athletics club training and covered a fair distance with hill reps included. I worked, but had this morning off to spend some time thinking about training. I managed quite a few reps of looking at the hill and a couple of trips towards the back door where the running shoes are. I don't want to overdo it after so much time off.
