We're Snowed In Again

Yep - it's day 2 of being snowed in - we can't move the cars and nearly everything is shut around town, including Polythechnic :O(

So we are keeping warm and eating fun food like pancakes with honey and lemon, yum.

Washing line and ariel.

The deck and some plant seedlings, also a big bowl that Stella likes drinking out of thats completely covered in snow!

Alexia's Car - a good 30 cms of fresh powder snow fell last night on top of 20 cms yesterday.

The roof at Sparks Road.

Flax bushes covered at the park.

The entrance way to the park, we took Stella for a walk here - she kept loosing her ball in the fresh powder snow and couldn't sniff to find it coz of the cold and so buried. 

Electrician

Here's a video made by one of our tutors at CPIT (Polytechnic) to give you a bit of an idea of the electrical industry in NZ and also our training facilities - OK it's a bit long, but it sorta shows what I'm doing for the next year or so!

Oma and Jackson

Here's a quick photo of wee Jackson and her grandma, who likes to be called Oma by the way. He's crawling now!

Playing in the Snow

Off to the local Park for a play in the snow. Definitely a lot colder than Guernsey at the moment I'm sure!!!

Snow Pancakes

Alexia decided that oaty pancakes were good food for really cold weather - yum. My fave flavour was honey butter and lemon :o)

Snow Time

OK - it's been ages I know - but I'm returning to blogging coz i feel like I'm losing touch with you guys again :O(

Here's some snow stuff - we had an antarctic blast from the South and it got reeeaaallly cold for a couple of days.

Stella loved her dog frisbee in the snow coz the ball wasn't bouncing!

Yes very cold, but Stella was loving the novelty of seeing snow for the first time - she was even eating it to have a drink, and rolling around in it too.

Yeah - she can catch the frisbee, she's really good at it now.

As always, click on the photo's to get bigger ones to look at.
