Day: 6 August 2009

There is a lady in Tawa who insists New Zealand is the cheapest place to live. I have always dismissed the idea. It has a lot to do with it being a small place with a small population, and therefore without the interest from a lot of players to get involved.
So, with mobile networks there has mainly been two: Telecom and Vodafone. There has been a small player piggy-backing onto Vodafone’s network. Now there is a significant 3rd player-2 degrees. They only do prepay, but it is currently half the price of the big two. Maybe a loss leader, but closer to level that a recent Commerce Commission report into the mobile industry suggested was an international equivalent.

Maybe things are on the move.

Nothing great to report, life ticks on, no holidays, no visitors, but work and school and sport. It really must be time to do something.
Well it is winter, but July is over, the month in my mind that is always the worst. Not so much the cold, but I have in my mind the image of constant rain. It has been cold, but seems to warming. My mind is possibly coloured by the current fine weather; beautiful still days, clear skies. It would be perfect skiing weather if we were going to the South Island.
The daffodils have just started to come to life, and I did have to cut the grass at the weekend. This weekend is looking good, so more time to do the garden, and maybe I will get back on that bike and cycle to work as I have been promising myself.
