Yesterday the finishing touches were being made to the repair of the footpath on the North side of the Ti Rakau bridge - filling the gaps between the new paving slabs and the surrounding footpath with cold-mix bitumen.
It looked to me like a very, very small job but there were 2 traffic control trucks and 1 Fulton Hogan truck and 7 men in hi-viz jackets, one of whom was using a shovel to place and smooth the filling compound.
When I returned, around 1/2 an hour later, the same 7 people and three trucks were filling a tiny pothole in the road surface - again 1 person with a shovel, but this time the other 6 weren't even pretending to watch him working.
I wonder how much this cost us.

Although the number of in-person services and ceremonies across the region is reduced as a result of the red-light setting during planning, there are still many ways to commemorate at home or in the community.
The dawn service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum is limited to veterans and invited guests only. The public are encouraged to view the service at home on Māori Television.
Visit ourauckland.nz/anzacday for ways to commemorate Anzac Day.

This is one of our most popular projects as the students must design a three-course menu, cost it in a spreadsheet to meet a specific budget, create a menu card and timeplan to help them execute the tasks. They must serve the menu to a guest who arrives at 12.30. Everything is done on the day. The students also get to sit with their guest to savour and enjoy their creations.
Along with our cookery students, the Food & Beverage, Level 4 students showcased excellent wine and food service to the guests.
Some of the dishes prepared were -
- Pan seared fish with salsa and mesclun salad
- Fettuccine Al Burro with handmade pasta
- Semolina cake soaked in orange blossom syrup, rosewater sorbet, pistachio crumb & candied orange peel
