What's your opinion on street art? Are there any spots in your community that could do with a mural?

What's your opinion on street art? Are there any spots in your community that could do with a mural?
Construction sites and other disused structures around Wellington are getting facelifts, with local artists putting their touch on areas in a state of flux.
Wellington based artists Xoë Hall, Miriama Grace-Smith and Gina Kiel make up part of the Love Local: City Artwork initiative, with their work set to add vibrancy to revamps around the city.
The collaboration between Wellington City Council and WellingtonNZ has $60,000 which covers printing, installation and commission.

Like to treat yourself occasionally? I recommend Kapiti Cakes at Coastlands. In the lane that goes through to Kapiti Lights, they are really good. Their coffee is great, a decent sized cup and full of flavor. The cakes are all delicious, and range from downright decadent to scones and muffins.… View moreLike to treat yourself occasionally? I recommend Kapiti Cakes at Coastlands. In the lane that goes through to Kapiti Lights, they are really good. Their coffee is great, a decent sized cup and full of flavor. The cakes are all delicious, and range from downright decadent to scones and muffins. Their cream donuts are to die for, fresh and not too sugary. If you have an occasion to celebrate, they have a selection of gorgeous gateaux. The staff are friendly, service is excellent and the shop is always spotless. One of the best coffee shops i have been to.
Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

But they are not just there for fun, but to improve their brains.
Dancing has so many beneficial effects on the brain that it is now being used to treat people with Parkinson’s disease, which affects about 1 in 500 Kiwis.
“Motion is lotion, getting people moving is really important,” dance leader and physiotherapist Rachel Horwell said.
What do you do to keep fit and stimulate your brain?

If yes to any of these questions, then please see our buyers this week. We will buy single items or complete collections.
The recent lockdown has seen many of us take the time to sort items we no longer require or simply want to turn into cash.
We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.

In 1925 Helen Keller, a woman who had been blind and deaf since childhood, challenged Lions to become "Knights of the Blind" in a crusade against darkness. Lions accepted Helen’s challenge and there are now a number of programmes that Lions are involved with worldwide, particularly in third world countries.
If you have old spectacles lying around that you dont use they may be of use to others.
Useful items are labelled, packaged and passed on to Volunteer Ophthalmologist Services Overseas (VOSO) for distribution to those with poor eyesight in the Pacific Islands.
VOSO consists of teams of eye surgeons, optometrists and eye care workers who visit the isolated communities and bring enhancement to the lives of hundreds of people annually. The project has provided over 80,000 pairs of glasses which would have a replacement value in excess of $15 million

The emphasis will be on how your dwelling has promoted or detracted from your own well-being in the 2020 COVID-19 lock-down period. Preference is towards those who spent the lock-down in Wellington City.
The first focus group is hoped to be held on the 10th of June (subject to change), with the second focus group around 4 weeks after. Participants will be awarded a $5 Coffee voucher on completion of a focus group. Snacks and drinks provided at the focus groups as well.

"Siam came in my cat door six years ago with this sponge in his mouth and dropped it at my feet as a gift for me. His owner gave him to me because he just refused to go and six years on, he still brings the same sponge to me every night. I'm pretty sure it is the equivalent of roses in his mind."
