bleeeeh

Yesterday was possibly the nicest day in the history of Wellington. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and - brace yourself for this - it was actually warm. I know, preposterous, right? BUT I could hardly enjoy the good weather at all because: a) I had (and have) assignments to do. b) I'm pretty much cut off from even looking at the weather in my room. And c) I'm sick.

Isn't life grand?

I prayed the weather might last for a few days, just until I felt better? But no. In fact, Wellington couldn't even be nice for one weekend.

And then my cold got a bit worse.

I took the opportunity to make some soup. Pumpkin soup.

Here is the recipe:
500g pumpkin
250g potato (I used kumara)
1/2 an onion
1 clove of garlic
2 cups vege stock

What you do:
Fry onion and garlic in some oil (after chopping, of course), add chopped pumpkin and potato/kumara and cook for about 4-5 mins. Add the vege stock and some salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes.

Blend.

Yum yum :)

Another exciting thing, Someone was cleaning the windows in the building next to me, but with an ENORMOUS window cleaner.

I thought it looked quite comical, so I took a photo.


Much love,
