In the mid to upper 70 degrees F or 25 degrees C, and a very nice day. But the weekend off is coming and some bad weather is scheduled for our trip and we have canceled the kayaking. Still we plan to get to the south Island for the first time and check it out. I'm wearing shorts, sandals, and Mary said it's the first time she's seen me in full Florida wear since coming here.
Two days ago, 2 nurses not in work clothes, came in to the hospital A&E (that's Accident and Emergency) department and put up the first Christmas decorations; that I have seen in the hospital. About a 5 foot tall tree and some beads with bows overhead. One of the nurses asked if I would participate in the gift drawing on Christmas day where everyone working is to bring in a gift of about $10 (New Zealand) to be drawn. There are signs of Christmas --- it's different. The church we went to Sunday had no Christmas decor and I don't remember it being mentioned. The young docs I work with are going to a Christmas caroling on the square Christmas eve and planning a party. They are from the United Kingdom - most trained around London.
Will attempt to include pics of nurse decorating - taken out of focus (sorry with Iphone) and one of Mary's favorite pizza place (see posting 2 below).
