- Wed,24/3 Am still sick with horrid head cold. Woe is me.
- Thur,18/3 Went out to celebrate St Paddy's last night at The Little Green Man. Lamest Irish pub in Wellington. They didn't even play any Irish music. Photos here
- Sun,14/3 Each day I start with socks, long sleeves, cardigans and one by one I'm striping of layers until I'm sitting it a tank and shorts. It's this in betwixt time, caught in the change of seasons. Crisp autumnal mornings, hot stifling afternoons then back again to the cooler darker evenings. I can't keep up.
