Too hot for your feet? Too hot for your Dogs!
I was out two days ago (a major achievement at the moment but's that another story) I saw a middle aged man with his biggish dog towing him whilst he was on a push bike. The dog didn't like it was enjoying itsself, had a funny gait, then I realised the temperature was 28 or 29 degrees. too damn hot for my feet, the poor dog was clearly lifting its legas as quick as it could. Ignorance is bliss or abuse, if it is too dam hot for you to be barefoot then it is too hot for your dog. You can get boots for them or maybe leave the dog at home or exercise on the grass. Dodi says, give me plenty of water please and if it is too hot for your feet, then it is too hot for mine, please keep my feet cool!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
