Well I'm here in Wellington, actually in the studio rehearsing "Pops Ultimate Star" which is going out live tonight. I do like Wellington but New Zealand is cold and wet at the moment, we've even bought an electric blanket and it's the first one I have owned in my life. All my kids have colds, as do most of the kids on the other family blogs I've got links to! And New Zealand is officially depressed today, the rugby - they lost to the Aussies (Almost a national disgace) and the Americas Cup - where one more win for the Swiss could mean losing out.
I am promted to think that at home in the UK we have floods and the awful terrorist alerts and reason to be really depressed but being Brits we just get on with it. In a strage way I feel guilty, whenever there is strife at home I feel like I should be there. I am, none the less, glad that my children are in a place where the main topic of distraction is a rugby and sailing match and not the prospect of a bomb blowing up innocent people.
On a lighter note this post from a fellow expat made me smile, it is very windy in Wellington and yes when you inside the plane it feels 10 times worse! Have a look, the post is called Life is a Roller Coaster
