I'll check out that thread, I've never clicked into it. Aw, we all hate waking up early, I'm fast approaching the holidays though so there will be no early starts. You've got to love the cold, I would love to live in Finland. I think New Zealand is very similar to Scandinavia in general, similar climates I think as it's in relatively the same position but in the southern hemisphere instead. Plus we have a Scandinavian name too.
Anyway it's summer here, unusually warm weather though, even for summer. Sometimes in excess of 26 degrees celcius.
