Aw crap the stupid NZ dollar is diving below AU$0.87– this sucks! It means that every $1000 of my Aus debt now costs me NZ$1150 to pay back (not including fees and charges).

I cooked myself a steak last night, just because it seemed like the thing to do…. I’m buying pretty much all my food from supermarkets now, although not sure if it’s actually saving me any money since I seem to be constantly buying food from supermarkets. Also I seem to have suddenly become addicted to mushrooms.

My new little coffee machine makes a pretty decent cup for a cheapie. It does pretty good froth too.

How does anyone get any goddam work done anyway?

It’s starting to really cool down here in the afternoons, sometimes very chilly. Good for evening walks.

Saw Me and You and Everyone we Know recently… very nice. Also saw Brokeback Mountain and thought that was pretty good too. Looking forward to The Squid and the Whale (UPDATE: saw it, not bad but not exceptional either)

People are asking about Drivey. Where’s Drivey? they say…
