Windy Wellington

They weren't kidding! This evening's forecast:

Northwesterlies may reach severe gale at times in exposed places between 8pm Friday and 6am Saturday with gusts to 140 kilometre/h about some hill tops in Wellington and 120 kilometre/h in some other exposed places.

That's 87mph, and right about now (almost 10pm on Friday) it sounds like it's going to blow all the doors and windows at the back of our house open! We just finished watching our weekly dose of television, the Australian variety show Rove, after having our fellow ex-patriots over at 4kiwiwannabes over for pizza night. (Apparently there was a pajama party prior to the pizza, but I missed that part!)

Happy Friday everyone, and enjoy those summer days for us! Almost there, almost there, almost there..
