Yep, it is not Friday but by coincidence both Andrew Gorrie and Rosa Marie visited Zealandia and photographed a stroppy tūī who did not want to share the sugar feeder.
Check out the photo of a kaka by Gorrie and the tūī by Marie. Which picture do your prefer?
So Wellington is the fourth most liveable city in the world.
Great.
But in gaining this status Wellington can also thank its immediate neighbouring cities and areas to its north accessible to a large degree by suburban rail including Upper Hutt and Martnborough.

But in gaining this status Wellington can also thank its immediate neighbouring cities and areas to its north accessible to a large degree by suburban rail including Upper Hutt and Martnborough.
Upper Hutt is in the throws of becoming more valuable and recognisible in this modern era as an adjunct to the Capital. There is Brewtown now and the yet to be completed sports campus and movie production facility. And in Martinborough and other parts of the Wairarapa there is world class wine production on a notable scale. All these things plus the attraction of beaches on the Kapiti Coast, help to make Wellington what it is.
Hi neighbours ☺️
I have 8 extra Hutt City Council rubbish bags, if you need rubbish bags msg me.
Happy to drop off bags.
$2.75 per bag - cheaper than grocery stores.
Thank you

"Is that a little blue sky this afternoon? I feel like a mole rat emerging after a week in the burrow. This grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) seems pretty happy to see the sun. He's posing in a cedar tree for Christmas cards."
Hi neighbours ☺️
Does anyone have a bay leaf tree or Geraniums that I could make cuttings from please?
Many thanks in advance 🌿

"My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I very much enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there.
As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself.
I do however come with a medical waiver my new home would have to be aware of. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact the canine team for more information."
