The Giant Muffin Tin

Weird I know but there are days when living in the Hutt Valley could be paralleled to living in a giant muffin tin!

We're nestled right up against the hills which can be breath-taking with the right sunset but even more so when a cold spell brings the snow... yesterday and today, the mountains were sprinkled in snow - making them look almost edible! My sympathy for all my fellow Aucklanders but the weather here has only left us with a few freezing nights followed by frosty mornings and enough power to keep the heater on full!...not that I'm skiting or anything!

...I'm about done with anything that resembles study this week (and it's only Wednesday!!) so am contemplating a movie at midday down at the Lighthouse Cinema tomorrow (study day). Lighthouse cinemas down here are like mini Lidos. You know, grab your latte and chocolate brownie as opposed to popcorn and coke - right up my alley!... for this week anyway!

In case you're wondering how that works for a poor student, well, the power bill came in under budget and so the prize for keeping within the budget is of course to blow the budget!

...and my movie of choice? In Search of Mozart - seeing as there's no way I can afford a ticket to see The Magic Flute while it's in town *sob! sob!...completely gutted*

Stay tuned for the review!!

Just the thought of frost and snow covered hills makes any powercut in Auckland worth the worry, mind you, the power didn't go out in my hood of Old Papatoetoe Ow... Enjoy the day off - oops I mean study day hee hee
