I’ve been following the primaries in the United States and I’ve made it no secret that my preferred candidate is Bernie Sanders (policy reasons and the best chance of winning) and another candidate has dropped out – Pete Buttigieg. The interesting part is whether that translates into more votes for any particular candidate given that…

Well, a fortnight has come and gone and on a gone so it is that time again where I get paid then I pay all the bills, look at the balance, cry and the go and buy groceries. I’ll need to remember to bring my reusable bags to work because I do my grocery shopping…

Well, that weekend went pretty quickly but it was pretty uneventful other than tying up some lose ends – grocery shopping, filling up the scooter with petrol. I was going to finish off the blogpost on politics but I never got around to it – it is one of those things I’ve got to be…

Finished work last night at 8:00pm, came home, cooked up dinner and along with the washing up of the dishes I jumped straight into getting the washing cleaned. I have so many undies and socks with me being the only one living in the house that I just leave my cloths hamper to be washed…

Well, NZ Post have finally gotten in contact with the e-commerce team to tell them that customs have ok’ed the release of the parcel I ordered from Amazon – I’m tempted to lay a complaint to see if I can get my P&P back given that it should never take a month to get something…

I fired off an email the night before last to NZ Post to find out what happened, yesterday (since I’m sending this at around 2:30am in the morning on Wednesday) I received a reply back that they have cleared ir then it will be released and delivered soon. The big question is what do I…
