Living on the corner of a main road into town and a quiet one that meanders past the local golf course down to the Grey River we are use to seeing trucks like this go by. There is a factory on the outskirts of Hokitika that makes butter, I've never tried this particular brand though - mind you dairy products here cost horrendously through the roof. I think a pound of butter is over $5 nzd now and milk is around $3 for a smaller bottle. 

I've had the last week off from work and I did say to my boss that if she got absolutely desperate with people calling in sick she could call me. What a surprise I had when I did get a phone call last Sunday asking me to come in but because I had a snotty nose I said no. Apparently the same people call in sick every week - what's up with that? 

Our general elections are due later this year too and cue the expected bickering, name calling and finger pointing from all parties, especially then making promises that we know they can't and won't keep. Sometimes I wish they would just do their jobs rather than acting like children.
