There are days when the weather in Wellington makes you feel like you are locked in a straight jacket, straining to escape to better things but never quite managing. Yesterday the winds were up and the clouds about making it a classic Wellington Spring Day.

It was a day that’s full of unpredictability that it can drive you slightly bonkers.  Just as you think it’s safe a gust of wind can almost blow you off your feet.  Just as you think the sun is out a cloud lingers and brings a touch of chill. It’s days like this people dress for all weathers and feel uncomfortable all day.  One minute too many layers and the next not enough.  People tell me it’s character building.  Those people are not my friends.
