This particular corner of the world is extraordinarily green for the time of year. Normally by this time, it's looking a little bit frayed round the edges, but it's still a very, very lush green.
NIWA's the place! I had a contract there a couple of years ago and I go to their site first.
It's grey here, but it's dry and calm and those are both pleasantly novel.
Greg was in your town this last week training a new client and is seeing family in Christchurch for the weekend. I hope he's got equally good weather. [uses hopeful icon]
Our garden is plenty green too. happily, the rain seems not to have discouraged the green cherry tomato plants from proliferating. My peppers are looking promising too, the three peppers are also green. The green plums won't be green for much longer either. I think we've had the right sunshine:rain ratio this year, unlike last when tomatoes failed and rotted.
It's looking pretty sunny out there at the moment, but then the bank holiday has plenty of time to get soggy yet! Unfortunately our garden doesn't get quite enough sun to be able to plant veggies, although we might put beans along the garage at some point.
When I worked in England, I had an Australian colleague who would, with one breath, marvel at how green the place was - and with the next, complain that it never stopped raining ;)
{giggle} I have to admit that when the worst of the drought eased and we did get rain, I kept getting caught with a line of wet washing and no clothes because it just did not... computer...

(I'm failing to find figures to back this up, but it doesn't matter, because the figures lie anyway. Lie, I tell you!)
