Good afternoon - another beautiful day in the Bay - but we need rain - supposed to get heavy rain this afternoon but sky is blue
Well I didn’t expect that result in the US but when you read the stats of who switched their votes to him it’s pretty obvious that bringing manufacturing jobs back from China by imposing huge tariffs resounded with even the unions who voted for him - sad to see the biased media over there who have a large dose of egg on their faces claiming young black voters who voted Trump are misogynists- couldn’t possibly be interested in jobs .The sawmilling son is very worried about tariffs as he exports wood product to the states - but he is more worried about the huge jump in his insurance and even more worried about the projected electricity increases that will hit us all in April - not sure why this govt doesn’t just reverse all the legislation Labour passed as electrical reforms in 2022 they post dated the increases for 5 years - I objected to losing my low user tariff but didn’t realise they had lined us all up for increases for the following five years
I see a very good piece on Stuff today from Sir Ian Taylor on our media and it’s lack of honesty - it isn’t serving us well so hopefully they will take note of what has happened in the US - was disgusted the night the police were desperate for help to identify the perpetrator who had killed the bus passenger which one would have thought it would have lead the bulletin - instead TV1 for the 6th night led with the story of the idiot MP - the media think they are all powerful but young people are changing .I listen to my grandchildren who are on both sides of the political divide - the things that are important to them are even very different from my kids when they were teenagers not so long ago .
Have just been back and read the posts about your voucher Popeye - pleased it was genuine - so many people get sucked in with the many PaknSave ones - they come into the shop wanting Robie to give them their money back - some of them have less than 100 bucks taken - devastating as it’s all they have got - he has great difficulty convincing some of them it wasn’t him - he gives them a card to the social supermarket so at least the kids don’t go hungry .
My neighbour had two elderly Hunterways - they both died within a couple of weeks of each other - today she brought her new dog over - nearly 4 years old and has been chained her entire life - she has struck gold - backs onto the reserve -fully fenced section - freedom
Thought of you Hunni and your scoot - went to Kinloch on the long weekend - my husband did a lot of voluntary work on the track - knew my leg wasn’t playing the game so decided to utilise my grandson’s motorised scooter - well it was like being a teenager again - admittedly I travelled much slower than the scooter normally travels and I was ever so pleased to see him waiting back at the jetty for me in his car I more or less fell off and into his car - wouldn’t have done it round the streets of Napier
Have another weeks work - not enjoying the subject I am auditing but am enjoying the company of the mainly young staff
