politics

I was so busy reading about the US elections that I nearly forgot it was Election Day here. Fortunately the rates bill came this afternoon, reminding me of the existence of governance in New Zealand. So I wandered down the road until I found a sign pointing to a school where I could vote, and upon arriving there, I voted.

On my way back, I righted the sign, which had been blown over in the meantime. Then I went to the library to return some books and borrow some new ones, and then I righted the sign again and came home.

I have my rates set up to get paid by direct debit so that's all done too.
