Christchurch Envy

I'm suffering from a major dose of Christchurch Envy.
Lynn has been enjoying Christchurch for almost 5 weeks now,
spending time with our friends Anna and Chris and earlier with
Christine and Antz....and now Kaska is there! Kaska was supposed to
be flying back to McMurdo today after an unexpected trip to Europe to
be with family, but today's flight was cancelled. The good part of that
is that she will be bringing a lot of goodies to us ATO folk that Lynn
purchased in NZ. The bad part is that she and Lynn are going out to
New Brighton tomorrow to go to the beach! Then they're going to
spend New Year's Eve on the square. All this topped by lunch today at
a new Indian restaurant on North Colombo. The green-eyed monster
called jealousy is alive and well and living in my brain!
