its snowing again...

it is snowing again...but slushily

Dunedin is a very cold place to live. fortunately our fire is going nice and warm tonight (last night it wouldn't burn at all :( ) even so its pretty exciting to have so much snow this winter, and hopefully if it snows more tonight then we'll have a real snow day and wont have to go to work!!!

Today i went up past Middlemarch through to Macraes for work to talk to a farmer. there was heaps of snow on the Rock and Pillars which was pretty, it looked like icing on the hills!!! we drove past the Stanleys Pub in Macraes. lots of one horse towns around that area but beautiful dramatic country and especially with a dusting of snow!! Richard (my workmate) showed me where the central otago rail trail starts and part of the way along it. hopefully this summer me and Jez will bike it, just gotta get jez on a bike!!

me and Jez are excited at the moment cos everyday when we come home there are wee silver cards in our letterbox rsvping to the wedding. its soo cool to have post that isn't bills. we hate bills at the mo, our savings aren't going well cos we had to buy pink batts and wedding stuff is adding up. why are weddings so expensive!!!

wedding planning is exciting tho, at the mo we are choosing the music that the DJ is gonna play and I've got a dress fitting on Saturday!! the first time i get to see my dress in real life!! yay

we made biscuits tonite, and for the first time in ages they are not burnt, we seem to be having trouble with that. not that it stops us eating them. actually jez ate them quicker cos he wanted to get rid of the burnt ones so we could make fresh ones!!!

anyway that's enough crap for one day
love Gem
