Apathy Revisited

After the heat of the passed few days, it is difficult to return to normal activities.

Yesterday I managed to complete the mowing of Mundi but that was pretty much my lot. There are tons of things that need doing and I spent most of yesterday just sitting on my arse. Not good in the overall scheme of things.

Paddy and Kirsty called in the evening to go over thier planned trip to visit us, and the trip we plan back to Mum's birthday. I still don't know the exect dates and times we are travelling - apathy right?

I had a guilt filled restless sleep, waking up at 3am and needing an Enos and brief session reading the Mote of Gods Eye by Niven/Pournelle. I dozed off, but woke with my alarm at 5:30am, remembering then to put out the rubbish. I went back to bed, but again was awoken by the dogs barging in. I dozed off again, but then I heard Casey's alarm going off, and knowing that she was over at Kims, Ihad to get up to turn it off. I gave up trying to slepp after that.

Today I need to get my lazy arse to the Centrelink office. Casey needs to go as well, but Dee has the car so I think I might be riding my bike there. I hope the tyres are pumped up.

Is this for real?

One of the biggest dramas I face is where to put my stuff. Well this Blogger thing may be the one, 'cos it seems to be everywhere, and anywhere, all at the same time, and I kinda like that :)

The Month in Review...just where do these days go?

Since May, my life has been 'on the go'. After the last FP visit, we had another person visit us, with the the same story, but she was much nicer about our woeful financial position, so Dee and I heard her out. We liked her so much that we invited her back next month for another chat. In the meantime, we have put our block of land up for sale...there goes Dee's dream of a new house for the short term. Our plan is to clear our debts with the profit from the land sale, and then start again with a deposit from what is left over. Dee will have completed her two year limbo with the Tax Office and I shall get a better paying job. We clear on that? While all this was going on, my brother-in-law, Pete Clarkson suddenly died back home in Christchurch. The family flew me back home for his funeral and wake. I was then asked to represent Deb and the family in delivering the eulogy. There was volcanic ash in the skys between Australia and NZ but I flew on Air New Zealand and they ke...

Macro Economics - part 1

For many many years, I have had a little statement rolling around in my head. I can't recall where I heard it, but I know it was not an original idea of my own. It goes something like this... A man's weekly wage can buy a bicycle or a good suit of clothes A man's monthly wage can buy a reasonable car A man's yearly wage can buy a luxury car A man's Half yearly wage will allow him to take a family of four on an overseas holiday Three years of a Man's wage could buy a small house/home ...and all this was from 100 years ago. Since then, I have sporadically and randomly searched for this type of reference on the internet but I've come up mostly empty, however I recently read another statement along the same lines, in that an ounce of gold could buy a pound of bread (or about 600 loaves) This has prove to be a lot richer vein to follow, if you can pardon my pun. This thought can be traced as far back as 2,500 years, so maybe after all the wondefull chan...
