Today was predicted to be the hottest day of the summer so far, and it was for some areas. I haven’t done much since the last episode, mostly routine stuff, but sometimes that, too, is my life, One thing I did was fix this site, so there’s that.

The 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.

It’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.

It’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?

Well, who’d have thought it? We had sun today! Not only that, but sun is predicted for tomorrow and Friday! I am shocked.
Today I begin by talking about why the weather’s been so bad, and how it recently unveiled a new problem I have to deal with. That moved me into related topics, including my organising system, which I’ll come back to next month. Finally, a bit of fun to end the episode.

It’s the end of 2022! I took advantage of my last opportunity to record in December and 2022 to do a little update episode. I’m not exactly sad to see 2022 go, but I’m definitely better than I was a year ago tonight. That’s a very good thing.
