Well in view of the fact that I check the weather in Auckland most days when I read the news on Stuff, I think you're still doing a lot better than we will...

It has warmed up a bit here, and I've just been sowing some pohutukawa seeds we brought back.

Our forecast for the weekend is wintry showers, although today is a bit warmer at about 9 or 10. Your forecast is for rain, sun, gusty winds and then more of that every day for the foreseeable future...
