We spent Easter at my parents’ in Dunedin, where the weather was better than expected, but still a shade on the chilly side for us naturalised northern types.

It’s always nice to see the South Island’s craggy features from the aircraft on the flight down. In comparison, the North Island, with the exception of a couple of volcanic protrusions, just gently undulates, really.

North Canterbury wore an early winter coat as we trundled overhead.

In other news: I received my brand spanking new copy of Eric Meyer’s ‘Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition’ in the post on Thursday. I’ve only managed a brief flick through it, so far, but it looks excellent!
