I do have a Viceroy, perhaps I should try that at Parliament or the Governor General's residence?

Over the Easter weekend the autumn weather was being nice and welcoming, unlike the following week where the heavens opened (one part of the city got 70mm of rain in one hour, 100mm in two hours!).

Happy New Year,
