Today was a beautiful though cold day. We walked around a bit (even saw some Star Wars storm troopers going down the street (so sorry I did not have my camera!) as we went on to see the movie Belle. I just loved it, a real tear jerker for me. It combined romance with social justice; for me, a winning combination.
The holiday also officially opens the ski season here in NZ. Looking around our home gardens, I am amazed to find a new array of flowers - some like I have never seen before
Back garden - does anyone know what these are??
tiny white flowers on the back bushes
and pink blossoms that look like carnations in two trees in the front.
It is amazing to me to have new flowers blooming outside in winter! The temps have gone down to a high of about 45F in the day. We have a "heat pump" in the living room that is struggling to keep us warm this evening. I hate to see the electric bill in June! Thank goodness for a heated mattress pad in the bedroom! This reminds me of my living in Ireland many years ago when I needed to put near-boiling water in a hot water bottle at night and wrap it in a towel to stay warm through the night. :)
