Aotearoa / New Zealand

We had a stormy night last night - there's something so cosy about lying in a warm bed listening to the weather rage outside. Bloody cold this morning but the sun keeps popping out and disappearing again. Hopefully everyone else is managing to keep warm and dry this morning!

Nice and sunny in Auckland today, actually got some washing out to dry, son is getting picked up soon which might mean a bit of peace and solitude depending on the wife lol

Sitting at home, figuring out how to not get cabin fever while being boxed in by bad weather.

Kids are behind me happily playing with some Lego together. Well, mostly happily -- there's been a couple of dramas around who gets to play with certain favourite Lego pieces.

If the weather improves, we may venture into the city.

You would think the English World Cup commentators could have had some basic training on Māori pronunciation. No, "Aotearoa" is not pronounced "Outer-rower" 🤦

Personally I'm lying in bed in the early stages of what I expect to be the flu (expected because my wife tested positive for the flu earlier in the week). So I probably have an unproductive weekend ahead.

So far I've been watching the Dirk Gently series on Netflix.
