What happened in NZ this week?
Friday, 20 June 2008
OK, so one of the primary reasons for coming back to NZ was for friends weddings. Now that they are out of the way, the secondary task moves into pole position - acquire UK visa.
Whilst the waiting commences (4-7 weeks according to the helpful staff and the High Commission's website) we can do little but ponder the next steps and enjoy life back in NZ. So what's been going on this week?
- Crime in South Auckland is growing at a great rate of knots. Three stories in the news this week. Pressure on the government to put plans in place to make NZ a safe place
- All Blacks spanked the English in the first test (37-20). Drama has now erupted for the second test with English players accused of naughty behaviour post game, and the ABs coaches under fire for their rotation policy coming into effect for the second test
- Cheese and eggs are now luxury items, as prices of basic food goods continue to rise. Don't even ask about petrol
- Dr Ropata is back on Shortland Street - make it stop!
Let's hope that visa comes through soon...
