Just felt like making the first post. I'm in Dunedin and it's been chilly, so of course I'm inside on lemmy.nz!

Kia ora! Much the same here in Ōtautahi - thank goodness for the fire!

The fire is a bloody godsend, really needed it recently!

Good morning from frosty Te Waiharakeke Blenheim. The sun is out and it looks nice but I'm risking it; Metservice says it feels like -4.

I really should have said I’m from Ōtepoti shouldn’t I :)

Kia ora, I’m just a little to the north west in Queenstown. Everything is frozen outside today so lemmy.nz seems like a good place to hide out.

Hope you’re doing alright up there, I know how cold it gets up there in winter!

Kia ora from Ōtautahi! Not a warm morning but the sunrise is looking pretty swish so far.

I'm so thrilled to see the sun streaming in! A gorgeous morning!

Pretty cold in my part of dunners too, already feels like winter's been dragging on forever!

[–] quirq 2 points 1 year ago

Certainly feels like it these past couple of days - we just got firewood delivered today so now we won’t freeze!

I'm in Christchurch. The new arena/stadium thingy is in the works. More jobs yay.

My first message on the federated services, this seems like the place! Thanks for the welcome. I'm up in Ōtautahi Chch, but I'm headed down to Dunedin in a few weeks with the family for a chilly weekend. What's happening around town?

Thanks for helping to moderate!

I would have said the Mid-Winter Carnival, but that's this weekend unfortunately, so I guess you'll miss that!

I don't keep up with much happening around town.. but in winter there's a lot more just staying warm inside than outside stuff going on I'm sure!
