Hamiltron: City of the Future!

[nishatalitha]

So today, I had an easy day at work, finishing by two, a fun shuttle ride out to the airport with maudlinrose, and the day was absolutely gorgeous. And then I came to Hamilton, and was completely startled to find that it had been raining on and off all day, and was about to start raining again. This would be fine, it's just that after such a lovely day, I completely and utterly hadn't expected it to be raining in Hamilton.

The house looks lovely - everything is painted, and the carpet, a nice brown, feels wonderful under bare feet. The house interior looks so modern! The Christmas tree is real, and as always, I love the smell of pine. It hasn't quite sunk in yet how long I'm actually on holiday for, but no doubt it will at some point. Mum has already claimed me for errands tomorrow, so I'll be doing a bit of running around, and no doubt on Saturday as well. We went out to see the lights in Harrowfield. They were pretty.

Everyone is going to bed now. My brother is exhausted from playing taxi late last night for some reason, Dad is tired from work, and Mum normally goes to bed around this time, I believe. Which means that I'm wide awake, and feeling vaguely like being sociable, but actually can't be, and can't be online, since the computer is directly opposite my parents bedroom door. I guess I'll have to go and watch E! or something until I feel tired enough to sleep. Or I have books, but I was planning to save them for the few days I'm at the beach.

But it is good to be on holiday, and have a break from both work and Wellington for a while.
