Rain, rain, go away...

Hi everyone,

The weather is still lousy, and New Zealand isn't really an indoors type of place. Can I just say once again that I can't wait until spring?

The Dark Knight was fantastic, and it was made even better by the fact that the tickets were free. We spent the money that we would have spent on dinner instead, and went out to the Flying Burrito Brothers restaurant on Cuba Street. I had the best margarita I've ever had (with fresh mango and passionfruit) and Rory and I shared a big sampler platter. It was plenty for two people, and included Pacific-style ceviche, chicken taquitos in mole sauce, spicy crab cakes, Mexican meatballs, roasted seeds, squid rings, quesadillas, chicken wings, nachos, salsa, and chili con queso sauce. It was a really fun dinner, and we finished just in time to walk to the cinema.

We are a little stumped about what to do today. So far our plans include walking to to the store and then making omelettes. It is so chilly out (the winds are from the south again) that we don't really want to go on a hike or anything, and I'd rather not go into town. So we'll probably have a lazy day around the house...gosh, I wish we had the BBC right now! Television sounds nice, but the four channels we have are pretty rubbish.

Love,
Amy
