The theatre industry is calling for a change to regulations, which would see them doing away with social distancing and enforcing masks.
Those involved in the industry believe it is unfair you can 80 people on a bus you can only have a maximum of 100 people at a theatre. What do you think?

This young chap sometimes visits my back garden - one of the perks of living not too far from the river, I guess. He isn't always polite, and chucked up some crab bits last time he was here. I've been pleased to see a few around the estuary lately too.

I'm looking for recommendations as to who could do a top job of replacing my wooden front door to my house if i go ahead with this idea . By this I mean it would involve installing a new door we buy and fitting it with handle and lock . I would buy the door and its fittings supposedly and some one else , a builder / handyman perhaps could do the rest. I would also like the old door taken away after the job has been done . I have not got a suitable vehicle to take it away and dispose of it.
Cheers
Wellington City is proposing a by-law banning unaddressed or advertising mail being put in letter boxes marked "no circulars" or '"no junk mail".
The by-law is part of a waste management plan to reduce the amount of material going in to landfills.

Those are the conflicting views of a council decision to introduce a new waste collection and kerbside recycling system. Opponents claim that council-supplied wheelie bins will create a monopoly and force a number of firms that supply bins to close down, with a loss of local jobs.

It’s time for the Great Kererū Count 2020. Kererū Discovery is calling on all Kiwis to get out and count kererū.

Kererū only live in Aotearoa New Zealand. Whether you love their classic white singlets, their whooping wingbeats, or their awesome air shows, kererū are as Kiwi as kiwi.
This year the annual Great Kererū Count 2020 runs from 18-27 September.
As well as being real characters of the bush, kererū are also known as the gardeners of the sky –spreading precious seeds of forest giants such as tawa, miro and hinau. Tony Stoddard of Kererū Discovery, who coordinates the count, says kererū can pop anywhere
“At this time of the year kererū will be flocking to trees like willow and tree lucerne. These trees are kererū-magnets as the birds come out of their winter-feeding grounds and prepare for the breeding season by feeding on the nitrogen-rich leaves.”
“In urban areas, kōwhai are another important food source for kererū, and you will often see or hear angry tui defending their trees from hungry kererū.”
It's hard to go for a walk at the moment without falling over baby things. Here's a new mallard duckling (Anas platyrhynchos) - one of a group of 10 with a busy mother duck in the Riddiford Gardens, Lower Hutt.
