Well, yes actually. Winter is currently enjoying his rule in NZ. Last
night, on a slow, warm 'port assisted' walk home from the pub, I found a
native moth - (about 5 inches across, beautiful creature, and unmangled,
unlike the one my cat brought to me yesterday.....) trapped under ice, and
knew exactly how it felt.........strange that he was there at all....I've
never seen one in winter before, let alone 2.......maybe it's an
omen...........
