Out Of The Blocks

Michael from Trentham

Couldn't wait another day, Scoops, the fish and chips etc takeaway shop in Wallaceville is open for business today whilst level 3 still exists.
Must be extra keen seeing they were closed for over 12 months following an extensive fire of the interior and roof of the building Scoops occupies.

Panhead WOAP Burgers

Back to Wellington On A Plate and the burger segment of it.
This is not a paid advert but Panhead in Brewtown, Upper Hutt has perhaps the best burgers in the entire competition and region and I recommend you book in for a gourmet delight. The black buns do not quite cover the layers of complementary food between them. Although Panhead is the smallest of the craft breweries in Brewtown, their beer standard overall is only beaten by Kereru in my humble opinion.

My wife lost her bracelet , probably in Upper Hutt during our shopping last month around 13 Aug. It was 16 years ago when we bought it in Singapore , so it has emotional value for her.
We have been looking in the garden and everywhere around the house but so far have not found it.
Maybe someone has found it and could give me a ring on 021 434477.
A good reward will be waiting for the returning of the bracelet.
Thank you

Over lockdown Neighbourly is running stories on SPCA pets that have been successfully adopted. This week it is Zoe.

“The adoption has progressed really well with our little Zoe. Before we went to pick her up, I had a whole list of elegant princess type of names to rename her, but now that she has fully settled in, we have come to realise she is quite the opposite of that and more of a mischief cheeky troublemaker.
After a couple of weeks of slowly introducing each other, Zoe and her feline brother have gotten along a lot better than we anticipated. What she lacks in hearing she definitely makes up in with her voice and all the random noises she constantly makes. We bought her a large expensive cat tower and of course she much prefers to sleep and play around in a paper bag, so that has been fun being woken up at 3am with her rustling around in the bag.
Her new favourite area of the house is the bathroom where she loves to sit on the bath for hours and watch the water slowly drip out of the tap or go and rip up every single piece of toilet paper. She is constantly making us laugh and is so full of character and is loved by all our family and friends. Thanks so much for everything.”

The Impossibility of NZ's Delta Level 2

It all looks promising if we stick to the rules in Level 2 starting this Wednesday. But there is a Big But.

Public Transport.
You are not going to be able to keep the 2 metre distances nor maybe also the 50-only rule at peak times on many suburban trains and buses in the Wellington CBD. So the Wellington and Lower Hutt job working train travellers from Upper Hutt will be at risk on every day they take the train trips.

Randy and Gene live in the Lower Hutt suburb of Avalon.

"Brothers Randy and Gene chat to Grey Cat through the cat flap (social distancing). Randy and Gene run a muck through the Avalon neighbourhood with their pal who often sneaks in and eats their food. 
Randy likes to watch keep watch of all the goings on in the neighbourhood, he lives in Ferretti Grove, Avalon with his brother Gene and human mum and dad (Kaye and Alex). Randy is a very friendly and curious little boy and enjoys making new friends - I know this due to the text messages I get about his whereabouts - usually napping at the neighbour's place."

Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say what suburb you live in.

So a person whom the police were watching and trailing every move he made outside of his home or his place of residence for five years at our cost, was still able to cause terror and inflict terrible injury.
We are asked to report on people whom we suspect as breaking the law or likely to break the law yet quite often nothing comes of it even if it reaches into the serious realm.
Something is wrong with the Emperor and the Empire and its been laid bare.
He was known to the PM. Did she open her To Do file every other day and his name appeared near the top?

It's perverse, but could he not have been given a free passage to Australia years ago. Not that there is a city in Australia better than Dunedin.
