During the last few days the Kiwi has dipped against the US and with the Riyal pegged to the dollar we have slipped under the 2 for 1 mark. Not sure how far it will fall. While living it still fairly cheap here the exchange rate is making some things very expensive. I was in the supermarket this week and went for a troll through the fruit and veges. Now evey now and again Kim and I will have steam brocolli with fresh black pepper. Reviewing my own cooking I can't remember the last time I cooked vegetables here. So on the shelf were some nice heads of Aussie Broc. A closer inspection revealed that with the current exchange rate it was going to cost me about $NZ14 for one. Buggar that I'll just take a berocca.
