Ok.. now I have been told by several people that it only gets dark like that in Britain in Winter. Isn’t it Winter 70% of the time anyway? But I guess I’ll just have to handle it. Damn good excuse to buy more boots and coats!!

It’s cold, wet, windy and basically very depressing weather outside tonight. It must be the changing on the weather. I think we’re in for a Wintery-week. It’s 6.30pm and look how dark it is! Here in New Zealand we’re used to it not being dark until 7.30-8.00pm. I think that could be my biggest struggle while being in Britain. I think I might go slightly insane when it turns dark at 4 in the afternoon.

One good thing about nights like this is that I can get into my jammies and slippers and curl up and watch my favourite shows for the week; Grey’s Anatomy and Men in Trees. Oh. My. God. Are you jealous? Utter bliss!

This weekend has been one of relaxation. I have had no tests or assignments that needed immediate attention so have been able to relax.
On Friday night Rob and I went to see Semi Pro, very funny. If you’re a Will Ferrell fan you’ll love it. I laughed out loud many times.

Then last night we went to see a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover band. At first I had no idea who they were or what they sang, but umm no. You will know most of their songs if you don’t recognise their name. I still couldn’t tell you who’s in the band (except John Fogerty, because some guy had a t-shirt with his name on it) but I do know a lot of their songs.
Including:
Bad Moon Rising
Proud Mary
Fortunate Son
I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Have You Ever Seen the Rain? - my favourite
Someday Never Comes - had never heard it before, but now my second favourite.

The band played at a RSA in West Auckland so there were a lot of the older generation there. It was a lot of fun! People were dancing constantly, it was great! It’s so much easier to dance to than the new music out. And you can sing along!

So now I have stolen my mum’s CD and uploaded them to my iTunes so I can see my heart out any time I want.
