April is the first time I have entered Cardinal Guzman’s monthly challenge of the changing seasons.
Both along Wellington waterfront, where I try and get out for a lunchtime stroll at least a couple of times a week, and along Ohariu Valley Road where I go for longer weekend walks, April has bought lovely weather. It has felt much more like late summer than the start of Autumn.

Budget 1994
My first job out of university was working at the New Zealand Treasury. One of the traditions they used to have there was a lunch the day after the budget where the Minister of Finance would normally make an appearance. In 1994 (or maybe 1995) the lunch featured some specially re-labelled beer recognising Minister Bill Birch.
