She is also called Alison and even Alison and that must be even who she is. It's funny, isn't it, in this cyber-world, that there are people who are who they say they are. I know you are too, mate, but, hell's bell's, don't spread your doubt too far. (btw being a Melb she has a permanent cold. At-ishoo!)

It is warmer, but no by much. That is, if you pass through Auckland you could see for yourself, and meet me too, or just call. I think it will be warmer in Auckland so you might like to stay here, because what Christchurch NZ is is colder. Enough to make a difference. Where David Howard is it is colder than in Auckland, but of course you should meet David Howard regardless and find out who he is. If you are passing through Auckland you could find out who I am. I would like to meet you Alison and find out who you are.
