Deb and I are in Rotorua for her to attend a conference and me to lounge about sightseeing. Staying at a fairly fancy hotel (Novotel) with its own free thermal spa pools. A lovely way to warm up before bed.

Sounds lovely. And also, I like these reminders that it's winter in the other half of the globe.

@jean When we stopped in Taupō the wind was freezing. Now at 6 am it's currently below 0C back in Waikawa Beach. It's such a big cold snap the power companies are warning of possible power cuts this morning…

@crossingthethreshold Heh, thank you. This weather's brought on by a huge static high, which means cold mornings and amazingly clear (warm) sunny days. I have good warm clothes. 😁
