UH Festival Not So Springy
Upper Hutt's Spring Festival Street Fair today (Saturday Sept 9) seemed a little more on the down-market this year that it usually is. Apart from the stalls which lacked the Martinborough, Petone, Newtown, Thorndon grandeur, the singing from the two entertainment sites when I was around , was pretty low key as to want to pass by rather quickly.
Maybe I was feeling to effects from an All Blacks team which underperformed on the world's greatest stage only a few hours earlier.
However the weather was great - tee-shirts and shorts. Yay

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.
