We’ve all spent a lot of time at home last year, so many of us are in the same boat when it comes to our high power bills! GULP!
More Kiwis are now working from home, if that's you then it's time to check if you’re on the right power plan. SWITCH, SAVE and SMILE this Summer!

From Monday 14 February our Aquatics team will be split into two bubbles. This will give us the best chance of keeping our pools open should one of our Aquatics team return a positive COVID-19 test. You can read the full story here – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
Here’s a summary of the changes:
? Coastlands Aquatic Centre will be closed between 12noon and 3pm and at the earlier time of 8.30pm Monday to Friday. Weekend hours are 8am to 3.30pm. The programmes pool will be closed to the public at all times.
? Waikanae Pool will open daily between 10.30am and 5.30pm, with the toddler pool only available on weekends.
? Ōtaki Pool will be open from 11.00am–6.00pm Tuesday to Friday, from 8am–3pm on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Please check out our website for changes to our Aquafit class timetable and a full list of services on offer – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
We understand these changes are not ideal, but please be kind to our staff and mask, scan and pass when requested. ?
Noho ora mai Kāpiti, stay well.

I'm a handsome, goofy, gentle giant who is loving and eager to please. I've been learning to walk nicely on a lead while at SPCA and am very responsive to treats and human affection. While I enjoy a walk, I'm also happy just to have a cuddle, and Netflix and chill.
I've made a few canine girlfriends at the centre, and mix best with larger girls who are happy to play and don't mind some barking. I am not suitable for a home with cats or small animals at this stage. I would be happy to live with teenage kids."

The zip broke so it doesn't exactly keep the wind out anymore. If it's of use to someone, feel free to take it off my hands.

I had the lunch size of Achaari Lamb which came with rice and a naan. Achaari lamb (cooked with mustard oil, ginger, garlic, onion seeds, fenugreek seeds and spices. Intense in Indian pickle flavours). I had it Indian Hot and it was so good! Highly recommended.
