AmeriNZ 353 – Working the plan

amerinz_podcast_1400x1400-2016This episode includes the debut of a new mini-segment, something I’m beginning because of a conversation I had on the AmeriNZ Facebook Page.

I begin today by talking about New Zealand’s vaccination programme, how that compares with Australia, and also about related topics. Then I move on to talk about stuff I’m doing to my house, projects to help prepare the place for my retirement. The latest project also fulfils one of Nigel’s dreams, which makes me happy, too.

  1. I say to-MAY-to, but you say to-MAH-to. It’s interesting to hear you speak because you’ve really taken to the Kiwi speech patterns. I know it’s been a quart-century, but it was particularly noticeable on this post. Or maybe I was listening with new ears. idk.

  2. Interesting! I’ll have to go back and listen (something I generally don’t do…). But I can say that in my “natural” accent it would be tuh-MAY-toe, but I now say something more like toe-MAH-toe because people here do, and it’s easier to be understood. But maybe I should take this up in a future episode.
