Girl lost her fight with cancer on Wednesday at 6pm at home in my arms thankfully and was fast and peaceful but hard to deal with.
It's even hard writing this but you all need to be thanked for the extra time my companion was with me, that's priceless
Thanks again to Animates and my bro for dealing with cremation for me as I could not even speak or reply to what's happening
Hopefully when I pick up her ashes I might be able to have a conversation and fill them in properly and thank them for the help over time ,,I'm not the easiest person to deal with but they look after Girl and me well,,,,RIP MY GIRL and thanks all for the support
Sorry for the sad post

Steve and Daniel, also from our Aquatics Team, will be taking on the run and bike ride to share the load.
“I know I can definitely do the distance which is 12 lengths of the pool but there might be some huffing and puffing at the end,” says Shelley. So, why is Shelley taking on this challenge? “This is an awesome event to challenge yourself in a safe and supportive environment, and such a cool opportunity for our community to experience a beautiful part of Kāpiti.”

Sign up for the Ōtaki Triathlon today at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

Our national women’s rugby team took out the Rugby World Cup on Saturday in a tense finale at Eden Park. The Black Ferns won the match by just three points taking home their sixth world title.

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?

Should there be a parade for the Black Ferns?
  • 65.8% Absolutely, it's an event to be celebrated.

Because of the bad weather here Kapiti Brass Band has had to pull out of its participation in Strawberry Festival in Paraparaumu this morning. Rain and band gear to not go together well, especially the drums

So we will not be playing at 9:30 but we understand that the rest of the festival will continue, and I am sure it will be most enjoyable and well attended.
