amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Today’s episode is named after two anniversaries: Today is the seventeenth anniversary of my blog, and yesterday was the 28th anniversary of when I first arrived in New Zealand as a tourist, when Nigel and I met in person for the first time. This coming weekend is also the final Pride 48 Live Streaming Event, and I reminisce and opine about podcasting. Then, I briefly talk about a small project outside. Finally, I share a funny (to me) story form New Zealand’s news.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016The weather is still a barrier—but I managed to move around it. This week is mainly an update on what’s going on, including everyone’s favourite topic, as well as things I talked about last week. Naturally, there’s also new stuff for me and for New Zealand that I talk about toward the end of the episode. The Rugby World Cup – France 2023 runs from September 8 to 28.

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016It’s cold—well, I think so, anyway. But, then, as I’ve said many times before, I’m not a fan of winter. I begin today talking about some sad news I received yesterday. I then talk about plans I made for my upcoming birthday. Also, I had a very good weekend.

AmeriNZ 387 – Fading month

Posted on by
Reply

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016Six weeks in a row—and one full month—without missing a week. Who am I?! I’ve been busy “adulting” over the past week, especially changing electricity suppliers, something that took a surprising amount of my own energy. I persevered. Then I talk about something I thought might have happened by today, but it didn’t, so I talk about the non-event and why it will be so important once it does happen. That’s it for June!

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016It’s winter, and we have celebrations: The important one for me is that it was a brilliant sunny today day today. Also, this past weekend was the first King’s Birthday public holiday most New Zealanders will ever have known. I talk about all that first. The King’s Birthday Honours List was also released, and there were some surprises.

Then, I talk about my personal organisation system after using it for three months. Has it worked?
