Mt shutt .
Weird, so last night I went along to the pub at the other end of town (adventurous I know) called the last post but actually it's really the first when you think about logistics and pub location , anyways I digress . In the pub everyone was saying how all the north westerlies were blowing in and may as well have a big one tonight because the mountain will be shut. I sat and just nodded in awe of all their knowledge of the moutnain. True enough, you cant see Mt Hutt the weather is so closed in, it's like hurricane Katrina out side! It's just like the first barrier the wind hits is mt Hutt! The hole place is like a ghost town ! I've been told it is the rugby this evening with a live band so that should be good ! First I'm going to a parents meet and greet in the brown pub ( apparently the difference is that the blue is more like party, music, seasonair type activities).
The pub was full of characters it has to be said, i met someone i knew from back home which was nice. A homosexual couple who had such incredible chat, and had lived in edinburgh for 10 years or so and had played rugby etc. Also met some Aussies who had baught a campervan, and traveled newzeland all year. COOL. there van was so smart, they bascially had like graffited call of it to make it look really cool. Met some canadaian girls who were pritty awesome, they are coming to where i am staying next week so looking forward to that.
Weirdest thing just happened ... So there was this siren that went off - kinda sounded like their was an air-raid . And methven went into lockdown. Winds hitting way over 100km. Shops are closed weird! Apparently it's fairly standard - I think not! I was all ready to grab what's valuable and hide under the table .
Supposed to be going to a team Hutt parents meet and great this evening which will be good . Maybe get to understand what is going on a little more. Working full time for them for the next three weeks as its holidays over here and then we will see what happens ! Working with the racers older than me... Weird.
Today's been a generally lazy day , I've made some pasta - the stove went up in flames . Woooops I'm already on the verge from being banned from the kitchen. Helped Karyn paint some skis pink for her grand daughter, which i am extreamly jelouse off on that note ...
Kayrn.. Amazing , she's kinda like the house mum if you like? She is
Crazy... I can't keep up with her . Yesterday me her and a couple of other guests walked down to pub, by the time we go there she had collected around 7 other people in passing on the street. Literally demanded to be baught drinks by the first man she layed eyes on when we walked into the last post. Brilliant.
ESF boy has been playing sharades with me and nick all day since the mountain is closed. Probally the funniest thing i have ever seen, for example ;
the word was 'dancing'
most people would just do a little boogie ? Fairly obvious youd have tought .. oh no he proceeeded to do an enitre waltz around the room, with all facial expressions includeded. comical.
Think tomorrow if the mountian is shut we are going to take a trip down to Ashburton, the closest real town. so will update you if so.
Till next time - if we dont get blown away!
