Enjoying a view of the snow covered Southern Alps over breakfast.

I rode my Spyder down yesterday (brrrrrr! 🥶) and am staying at the airport hotel waiting for my wife who is driving down today with the dogs.

Looking across the runways I have a glorious view of the Alps.

Squash player Joelle King, being named Flag Bearer for the upcoming Commonwealth games opening ceremony.

For those who don't know, she is world number 6 and NZ number 1.

Reverse car parking at it‘s best. No, it was a man who spent 8 minutes of his lifetime on it. ;-)

I've always wondered who the hell needs an automatic parking system in their car? Now I realise, they don't seem to teach that in driving schools anymore.

That looks suspicious, several times the car is lined up and then they drive back out again or turn so it's unaligned. My guess is there's more to this than the video shows, perhaps the driver has OCD and is compelled to re-attempt the same operation multiple times until every part of it is exactly right.

Maybe? But then he should park forwards.

finding Gluten Free coco pops from South Korea in Reduced to clear. The chocolate coating is so over the top it is criminal. I went back for a few more boxes 😀

Common sense is not as common as you think.

After four days of rain in the south, simply enjoying sitting here drinking coffee with the sun shining in and the sliding door open for fresh air! Knock on wood it isn't raining!!! Four days of wet, mud and baby sitting three outdoor mad dogs... Ah coffee...

Getting to use all 5 days of the Cardrona snow pass this year and the "worst" weather was some clouds and light snow on one of the days. The other 4 were basically blue skies all day.

Considering the ferry trip down was delayed twice due to extreme weather last week, couldn't have asked for better weather on a much needed break. :-)
