The last few days I have noticed a couple of signs that we are heading out of winter. A bank of daffodils greeted me near the gym and today it was still daylight when I got home from work at 6pm. It was more noticeable because the clouds cleared. We've had so much rain - Auckland hasn't had a dry weekend since May. Yesterday we had prolonged heavy tropical downpours most of the day.
The real milestone here in NZ though is the Labour Day holiday at end of October - that marks the 
start of the summer season.
Watching the highlights of the Beijing closing night and wondering if I will be in London (or nearby) in 2012.
A springtime view of Boston from my travels a couple of years ago...
start of the summer season.

... how strange... life in reverse - suddenly the days are shorter, a jap in the air early in the morning, the trees are less dense and birds don't sing as much...
