My Waikanae studio is full of all the latest in acrylic and watercolour products for use by people who attend my classes. I run a programme of well structured, topic-based classes and workshops for a wide range of abilities, from beginner to experienced artist. I also offer Artist Session groups (3 hours on Tuesday mornings) for people who have sufficient experience to initiate their own projects and work in a more experimental, less structured way, with material support and tuition. Check out what’s available through the link here.
If you’re keen, do let me know.

Waka Kotahi said Wellington's Terrace Tunnel is closed to traffic heading southbound, and warned commuters to "expect delays". Northbound lanes near the tunnel are partially blocked and moving slowly.
It's been said that a protester has glued their hands to the road and is needing assistance to be removed.
"Police advise motorists to avoid the area and expect delays."

Morning all,
Someone has stolen our Grand-son's PS4 controller.
As a result he is unable to use his PS4
Does anyone have a spare PS4 controller that we could have?
Thankyou.

Audit Office: Assumptions of proposed amendments to Horowhenua District's 20 Year Long Term Plan "not reasonable or supportable"
"Credibility" questioned
Long Term Plan, "does not provide an effective basis for public participation"
Final verdict: "Adverse opinion"
Audit Office gives "adverse opinion" on information contained in Horowhenua District Council's 20 year Long Term Plan (LTP) Amendments Consultation document.
The report included in a copy of the draft LTP said:
"The consultation document does not provide an effective basis for public participation in the Council’s decisions about the proposed amendment to its 2021-41 LTP.
"This is because the assumptions underlying the information in the consultation document are not reasonable or supportable.
"The Council is assuming that it will retain ownership of three waters infrastructure assets and remain responsible for the service delivery of three waters services for the next 20 years.
"The Council has not amended its assumptions that underpin the information on three waters infrastructure assets in the consultation document.
"The assumptions are therefore not reasonable or supportable, which affects the credibility of the proposed LTP amendment.
We did not determine the effect of the reform on the proposed amendment, because it was impracticable for us to do so," said the report author on behalf of Audit New Zealand.
Three waters refers to water, stormwater and waste-water services which are expected to be managed by four new publicly owned entities from 1 July 2024, replacing the services managed by Council.
Legislation to establish the four new publicly owned entities - the Water Services Entities Act 2022 (the WSEA) was passed by Parliament on 14 December 2022.
Council's chief executive Monique Davidson is reported to have said, "The right thing is what do we think the cost of Three Waters would look like if we were to retain the responsibility of it."
That sounds more like wishful thinking. But perhaps the Council that adopted the proposed 20 year plan for Consultation despite the Audit Office findings and Council's chief executive Monique Davidson knows more than the rest of us what the political landscape is going to look like after the general election. Either way wishful thinking is probably not the best basis to be making 20 Year financial forecasts on.
