Sort of a drizzly cold day here in Christchurch. Just like one of those sunless days in Cleveland.
Before I forget, at breakfast they have a spread called vegemate...which you will all have to try when I get back to see what all the fuss is about it.
Anyway, we went to Lyttleton to tour the Time Ball station which is how sailors figured out longitude until radio and modern technology took over. Unbeknownst to me this happens to be the harbor closest to Christchurch....so as we were looking down at the harbor you know where my thoughts drifted...and you can take it from there.
Anyway the gift of the time ball was given to the New York Times years ago, and I am sure you know what they did with it!!! Yep, that is how the ball dropping on Times Square got started years ag0.
So since it was a drizzly day we just walked to the many museums by us...sort of like our University Circle area...and then I had a smoothie. The milk in it must be much richer than what they have at home because I needed to make a run for the nearest bathroom!!! Matt can relate to that!!!!
Had the chance to watch the news report for the first time and it is as depressing as our news back home. Not the greatest day today....but then there is always tomorrow. Better forecast also.
So until the next blog, stay safe and healthy.
Love,
Gloria
