OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN UH

Michael from Trentham

Two good news stories in Upper Hutt underlines the fledgling progressiveness of the city.

I had reported in two separate threads that popular Dough Bakery Cafe in Whirinaki shuts off its coffee services at 2.30pm and that the swish, up-market new cafe/bar at the Cossie Club was unable to open due to staff shortages.

Well, Dough Bakery now serves coffee til 3.30pm in joining all the other cafes who operate within the 3pm-4pm spectrum and the Cossie Club has snared new staff to enable its cafe to finally open its doors.

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!

OH ME OF LITTLE FAITH

Michael from Trentham

Watching the Black Caps in their T20 match against Shri Lanka last night i gave up when it was such a one-sided game at Mt Maunganui with the NZ side in the process of getting slaughtered.

So I tuned the tv set to Netflex and a movie named The Hunted - a movie banned in USA that despicted ghastly right wing deplorables venerated by Trump doing horrific things.

Well I gave the movie away before its completion and switched to the cricket after its completion.

Somehow brillance in mouthfuls had taken the Black Caps to new heights and they had impossibly won the match before a crowded house of over 10,000 spectators.

What did I miss!!! Only Trump's demise would have been better.

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
