On the money and budgeting front – there is an interesting blog at Money and Markets
Readers of the blog have sent in stories, anecdotes and thoughts on money managements, and it has been compiled into a list of 5 rules. The first rule is Start Budgeting – so I’m happily on board with this.

Domestic Executive
has an amazing photo show of the tickertape stock quotes on the NZX building in Wellington.  and also reveals that at some point they managed to bring their UK£ over for more than $3 to the pound. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it!

If you want to see some photos of Wellington’s stunning coast – you will find that at Chez Lee.

And if you are thinking of getting a lifestyle block and growing Olives – you might want to take a look at Moon Over Martinborough. These guys are in our neck of the woods – but are a whole lot less lazy than I am and have a large area of land for Olives. And can tell you what to do with them. Not that I like Olives – but hey – they are enjoying their lives – and that is what matters. They also take really nice photos !

And just to prove that I am not the only complete skeptic when it comes to Swine Flu – This New Zealand life comments on the stupidity of thinking that a msak can save you.

“Those same nano-sized viruses that are to the weave in his face mask like marbles to a football net.”

On the forum front – someone has posted on UK2NZ asking for people living in the UK but considering emigrating if they would take part in a survey.
