I went for a run up Mount Cargill earlier today. I now feel completely stuffed. Nearly sprained my ankle on the way back down.Daylight savings ended last night, and it is now quite dark in Dunedin at 8:00 pm. The Autumn Equinox has been and gone. Therefore, in less than three months the sun will set in Dunedin at 4: 56 pm. This means that I can expect to head off for work in darkness and return home from work in darkness.
Hopefully, future winters in Hamilton will mean noticeably longer days, as Kat and I will be moving there in a few months.
Last week, when I was working in Auckland, my employer put me up in a fine hotel. On Thursday night, after finishing work, I was passing through the hotel foyer and noticed one of the hotel staff dealing with a visibly upset guest. The female guest was crying quite audibly and she mentioning something about towels . I thought to myself, "How could anyone get extremely upset over towels?"
Finally, the Highlanders won 29-20 over the Lions. As people often say, there are always those of us, less fortunate, further down the food chain.
