| 282174 | 2004-10-20 05:19:00 | ... I still remember some of the poems in books called > "When We We're Very Young" & "Now We are Six."... > The more it snows (tiddely-pom) The more it goes (tiddely-pom) The more it goes (tiddely-pom) On snowing And noboy knows (tiddely-pom) How cold my toes (tiddely-pom) How cold my toes (tiddely-pom) Are growing Sorry - couldn't resist :) |

The accompanying picture was perfect for Central Otago kids decked out for winter. This was chanted as you stomped through icy puddles (It makes a great chant - short & easy to remember) and there was always an extra-satisfying STOMP or JUMP or PLOP or CRACK as you emphasised the last word. |

Seriously bad spelling, obviously. And what about High Marx, much sought after at the end of year? R2 |

| 282178 | 2004-10-20 12:32:00 | R2x1: And now that you're moving to the Winterless North (or do I remember that post wrongly?) I guess you never will see proper crunchy icy hard water again (Unless you come down to us ice-crunchers some winter, that is) Otherwise, you have my sympathy. Permanent sunshine & even temperatures can be so boring. Living dangerously (even if it's only snow in your own backyard) has much more variety. |

| 282180 | 2004-10-22 21:46:00 | Oh Laura, Winterless North? Daylight saving here has meant saving it from shining on us. You have adventurous weather? Ha, yours is so monotonous, sometimes the same weather for hours, not like here. Fifteen weather patterns before breakfast, and three more during. And I will stick with my early formed theory that water should be at room temperature unless it is used in the hard form to make the Whisky look like a bigger delivery. Snow and ice are fine in their place; postcards etc. We don't need blizzards and the like, we have traffic jams, which at least have the merit of ensuring that the rush hour is a thing of the past. (Some mornings, all the present, and a dollop of the future as well.) The new Mayor is putting the kaibosh on the eastern road boondoggle, presumably so he can set up roadside stalls to sell breakfast to the semi-parked people as they commute. Even if you have to eat in the car, it will be pleasant to have time for a leisurely breakfast. R2 |
