Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.
Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽

I was patient when receiving 2 yellow bins. I was patient when my black council bags got left behind after being told that it will be taken with my neighbors bins.
After putting out my brand spanking new red bin this morning, came home after the morning school run to this.
My low expectations just got lower. Not amused at all.

A third of all the houses for sale in Lower Hutt are in a suburb – Wainuiomata – that’s shaken off a dodgy reputation during the housing crisis.

TradeMe has just 213 properties listed for sale in the whole of Lower Hutt – a city with a population of over 100,000. Seventy are in Wainuiomata, which contains only 16.4 per cent of Lower Hutt’s housing stock.
Wainuiomata is in the midst of a purple patch with new investment flooding in after years of stagnation. The Hutt City Council recently announced an $8.5 million upgrade of the Queen St shopping area, which follows the building of a new supermarket and shopping area, and a $50m retirement village.
Healthy, warm, dry and cheap to run. Owners of Superhome houses in Auckland, Christchurch, Nelson and Otago are hosting open homes from August 14-15 so you can see just how warm and cosy a home can be with the right design approach.
There have been some epic grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) battles in the back garden the past couple of weeks – well, as epic as it gets for something that weighs in at 6g.

What I assume are three males have been wittering away and chasing each other around quite a small area when they disagree about who won the singing competition – little flashes of aerodynamic grey fluff battling for supremacy of the Acer palmatum conveniently sandwiched between a camellia, a kowhai, and a robust trellis covered in potato vine they seem to like climbing in. Having grey warblers in permanent residence here in Woburn, Lower Hutt is quite new (at least in my garden), with them only having turned up earlier this year. I hope they don’t exhaust themselves before they get to do any actual courting. This was taken last week, but they have started up again today after a temporary cease fire during the bad weather. Fingers crossed they nest here.
