Eww, summer. Also, icon.

Today was the first day of summer. This traditionally means that I get to melt officially in squillion-degree heat, which hasn't happened yet this year, and if the weather stays like it has been then the season might be almost tolerable. Except, of course, the twenty-fifth, which is very nearly required by law to be eleventy billion degrees in the shade. Even the much-publicised Mortiferous Fauna try to find somewhere cool to hide.

(Still, I'd prefer the weather I was promised last week. Hot and cold running storms? Thanks kindly.)


It also traditionally means twenty-three shopping days left until xmas. And so, my second-last icon space is now occupied by this year's seasonal icon. And, plus side, this one took about a day less to make than This Season did.

I also have my 5th of November icon for next year planned plotted, which is a day later than last year. So. Um. We're fine, we're all fine, here, now, thankyou. How are you?

Tauranga. Te Puna to be exact. I spent four years living there with my grandparents and my Mum during my high school years, which was an interesting change. I'm certainly glad I moved back to Wellington after school, but it is certainly beautiful. My grandparents house was on a section of land that used to be the farm, though the rest of it was sold and subdivided. It was lovely country to live in, full of avocado orchards and farmland and gardens.

It sounds beautiful. My grandmother used to live in Tauranga/Mt Maunganui, lovely place.

But I know what you mean about needing to move after school - I went to primary school in a smallish town in Taranaki, then my dad preempted things by moving to a big city, Sydney, because much as little places like that are beautiful, you really do need somewhere slightly larger for uni and stuff during your young adult years.

Absolutely. It helped that I was moving back to where I'd grown up as well, but I was so so glad to be back in the city, I had been going slightly mad stuck out in the waps.
