Happy New Year from New Zealand!
If I've been slack when it comes to blogging and keeping up on social media, for once it's not laziness! I'm on holidays, hurray! I'm in New Zealand, where it is unquestionably beautiful, and very questionably summer. Seriously, it's January and it's stupidly cold. I've probably spend way too many years living in the tropics, but I'm pretty sure the winters here would kill me!
But what I've seen of New Zealand is absolutely beautiful, and everyone should come here. I'll be sad to get back to Australia and the daily grind in many respects, but it will be nice to get back into some writing again. I always take my computer with me, but when my holiday brain is activated, I can't get much done at all. So apologies to all my cowriters as well... but you guys knew what you were getting into, right?
Here are some pictures of New Zealand to make you all jealous:
And no, I swear I didn't take a photograph of New Zealand sheep just to make a dirty joke about it. It's just that even their sheep are cuter than ours! Ours are skinnier and dirtier. I think they put them through the wash here before they let the tourists see them.

Did you visit the South Island? The western coast of the South Island is so different to anything we have here. Happy holiday Lisa!

So, what you're saying is... that the sheep are more nervous in NZ.

Having never been lured into acts by sheep, I wonder if that is a criteria for sheep swivers.

The penguin is a conversationalist. --Had a t-shirt that said that. It was Janglish. No clue what it really meant. It did have a penguin staring out.
Totally jealous. Especially since it just rained 2 days straight here in Brisbane. I'm only just seeing the sun today and thinking about all. the. things. I have to do while the sun is out. Happy Holidays. Enjoy the rest of your stay.

I hope you came and visited here in Queenstown (the most beautiful part of the world) where is has been hot, with a few chilly days thrown in. I hope you enjoyed your stay in our wee country and come back often

Beach day today!
