Lets Party

Oh no, hard at work again and I thought I was retired! Very busy cooking for punters over our long Labour Day weekend. Did you know NZ was one of the first countries in the world to introduce the eight hour day in 1890?
It seems people are still spending money here even with the fug of economic gloom. I have a theory that if the future looks sort of bad the populace will tighten their belts, but if it looks very bad they will go out and party like there is no tomorrow.

yes... i do agree... regretfully though...

and no i didn't know about that fact... so you should be really proud of your country... a place where humans are respected...

We stand pretty well here. Our economy is mostly based on production from the land so I think we will withstand most of the economic fallout.
Coupled with the first country to give women the vote, I AM very proud of my little (big) country
