Yuletide

 

 

All of these Christmas decorations have been seen in local Greymouth stores over the last 2 weeks. 

I think this year for the first time in a long time I'm feeling more festive. The last 7 years on and off I have worked in various supermarkets and let me tell you, people go absolutely nuts just because shops are closed for 1 day. I've seen people getting into punch ups over who would go through a checkout first and I've seen people get nasty and rude with no Christmas spirit at all. This year I'm working in a nice place with great colleagues and nice customers - no angst at all so I'm really feeling a lot happier.

Frosty the Snowman

 

Seen guarding the entrance of the New World supermarket in Pukekohe - haven't seen too many of him around so far this December. I think you can just see the rainy sky in the reflection of the windows.

It's been an interesting last couple of weeks. New Zealand is meant to be having Summer right now but so far all of the country seems to have 2 sunny days then 2 days of rain. Myself and my family has had a nasty flu that's been going around. My daughter gets bad asthma and it sounded like she was about to get pneumonia so I rushed her to the hospital to wait for an appointment as they were fully booked. She ended up seeing a doctor who said she had a chest infection. Summer flu bugs suck.
