This morning we had the first frost of the season, and there was snow on the high tops of the Tararua range too. Winter is nearby.

@Miraz Just as we are entering Summer. Maybe not so strange, as the two of us are, I almost wrote bipolar, but it’s a name for it like that. I found out from a website which city was the farthest away from Oslo, and I believe it was Wellington.

UPDATE: I meant Antipodes.

@odd When I was a kid, I used to ask my dad where was the exact point on Earth furthest away from us here in Melbourne, and he ALWAYS gave the prompt response, "Norway"! 😆 I think in reality it's the middle of the North Atlantic, but I guess that's less satisfying an answer for a kid. I'm pretty sure Aotearoa/NZ is, indeed, antipodal to Western Europe 🙂

@jayeless Yes, it seems like it.

@jayeless @odd I think technically our Antipodes is somewhere in Spain. But, Odd, it's true that we are bipolar — you up there near the North Pole and us down here sort of near the South Pole. 😆

@odd Oh, here's ours: Ávila, Castile and León, Spain

@Miraz Hehe! True.

@maique Oh I’ll have to tell my sister this one. She lives in Auckland.

@maique @odd Better get your wetsuit on! 😆

@maique @odd Thank you. I just tried it for Maui and the antipodes is somewhere in Botswana.

@odd If you don't like the Beatles, are you anti-Liverpudlian?

@cliffordbeshers No, I like Liverpool, the city and the FC. I don’t have anything against The Beatles really, it’s just that their music isn’t really for me.

@Miraz Cool! Oslo is nearly 60°N/10°E

@odd Interesting, but I was really just making a pun. Clearly not a funny one.

@cliffordbeshers I think it’s me that aren’t clever enough, I’m afraid… The pun was probably ok.

@Miraz Thank you for saying so! 😃

@Miraz @odd I agree with the first part, and take umbrage at the second.

@cliffordbeshers @odd Antipathetical perhaps… 😆

@Miraz I can't figure out if that's good or bad!

@cliffordbeshers 😀
