Shoe shooing
Only one shoe repairer left in Upper Hutt with the long established shoe and leather man moving onto to the Wairarapa.
So took my clean trainers to the one still standing for toe gluing. Forty dollars he said. What, I said. Needs cleaning too said the other man behind the counter. I may as well buy a new pair I said.
And I left.
Only two shoe repairers in Lower Hutt and went to one of them with the trainers. $10 bucks he said. OK, I said.
Maybe another reason to shop further down the line.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
