Yes, when I opened the back door this morning this was a huge rainbow right outside the door. The ferry trip to Lyttelton was kinda interesting, some amazing clouds rolling by, and you are right, the weather changed completely a few times just in the 10 minute trip. I don't think my simulator could keep up with it, though...

Ian, the rescue chopper was here doing a pickup in the Diamond Harbour sports ground this afternoon, we have an ambulance here, but it is quite a drive around the harbour, so I suspect that the chopper is a common occurrence.

I think I get to see it a lot more regular since it tracks along Riccarton Rd into the hospital , then its return journey back to it base back out a the airport.
