Well after all the build up the Rugby is now under way. The All Blacks kicked off and won although many fell it was a lack luster performance. The rail system failed many and the system could note cope with the crowds. The Party Central was a over run buy the response from the public. It seems that all the planning that had been done had not been done properly. It seems that there could have been up to 2000 people who were failed buy the system. The All Blacks lack luster performance in the second half will have some people wondering.
Time & Time Again
Well the time ticks by and we can do nothing about it but try and make the best use of it we can. It is a bit like money you can only spend it once and you need to be sure that it is not flittered away.
World Rugby Cup
Many people are starting to feel that the saturation advertising of the world rugby cup is getting to the stage where it is turning people off thr event. Twenty references in an hour is a lot by any measure. The excessive amount of rugby that has been on also is tending to be more than some people can take. Predictions of 90,000 visitors each spending 150 dollars a day sound like the economy could benifit but little has been said about the cost of setting up and running the event. Ticket sales still seem to be below estimates and only time will tell how the figures will telly up.
Never to Meet
It seems strange that in large families split between New Zealand and Australia that we may never get to meet some of our relatives. I guess it is something to do with the pace of life and the relative values we have and the way society tends to impose its self on us. How often do you hear we should get together more often.
Weather
It seems like the run of good weather we have had is about to end. The forecast looks like rain and rough weather a head. I guess we can not be disappointed as we have had a good run. The rain will help in some sections but of course there will be a down side for some parts of the community.
Will Start New Role in a Few Hours
Well the last day of the holidays has almost gone and I will be in my new role soon. It was a perfect day today bright sunshine and warm except if you got in a shady windy area. Weather is forcast to continue for a few days. Lots of dafodills around and a few early lambs.
Last Day of Holiday
To day is the last day of the holidays. It was cold and frosty but is shaping up to be a cracking day. The sky is clear and the sun is warm and bright.
Who knows what the future holds
A dream is all we have
New Directions In My Life
Tommorrow I start a new phase of my life. With my mothers passing there is just my sister and I. I need to make her my priority and look after her just as I looked after Mum. I am not sure what diretions I will take but all decisions will need to be catefully considered.
Honeymoon over for John Key
Well it seems that almost daily there are incidents that are causing a loss of traction for the National party. The solid coalition seems much less so and as the minor parties fight to maintain their differences and agreements seem to fade into the background. The way that the PM has handled things has not impressed some of his supporters and talk back radio has expressed strong disapproval over some of the actions taken. The up coming referendum on the “smacking” bill a major issue in the last election, John Key has stated he will not be voting and there will be no change to the law as a result of the referendum. The issues around the resignation of a recent Minister has also not been well handled. People are also wondering where the assistance for jobs and working through economic situation is and in what form this assistance will be delivered.
Shades of Understanding
It seems that some people never listen and read into a conversation their own wishes ideas and aspirations. Having explained with great care to a person the requirements of an item to be delivered to the house it arrived today and met none of the most important criteria. It seems that you have to be very patient and wide awake to ensure that you get what you ask for. It would seem to be most logical that if the requirements of the initial request could not be met. Then a phone call to the prospective user would be a simple step to take.
