Parking Pandemonium

Michael from Trentham

According to the Upper Hutt City Council, there is nothing in their bylaws to prevent a truck, caranvan, campervan and bus from permanent parking curbside anywhere residential in Upper Hutt.
With many streets in Upper Hutt so narrow that when two normal cars park either side parallel with each other vehicles cannot pass. I can think of one street where only a car parked curbside will cause a mini bus to slowly edge past. And yet a 44-seat bus, supercampervan or caravan and a monster truck, can gleefully take up any vacant space.
Could be that the UHCC should be bringing in sensible regulations regarding parking.

"If you're looking for a super sweet pup, with a kind personality, I am your girl! I am coming out of my shell with each day though I still have a journey ahead of me.
I am looking for a home with another dog that can help me grow and provide me with some support when life is scary. I have come so far since first arriving at SPCA and can't wait to continue learning more about the world in my home, my community and through training school. I am not the largest sibling in my litter though I will be medium to large once fully grown. All the more to love!
Being a young puppy I do require a home with someone around for parts of the day, this will help build my confidence around people, ensure I get lunch and help with general training."

One good thing about all this rain and wind: no guy walking past talking loudly into his cellphone day and night and no people with headphones too apparently occupied to acknowledge others walking past.

One good thing about all this rain and wind: no guy walking past talking loudly into his cellphone day and night and no people with headphones too apparently occupied to acknowledge others walking past.

The weather suppose to bring the best out of us but they say that people are at their most happiest with outside temperatures of 20-21c. Not at 5-10c. Have set the heat pump to 21c.

Will need today (Friday) to make sure things outside on my property don't fly away with the advent of forecasted strong winds for Wellington-Porirua-Hutt Valley. Southerly's not so bad where I am situated.
Ironically I will need to take down the wind spinner before it threatends to spin away. Place extra bricks on the barbecue and outdoor furniture covers.
Damn, won't be getting the wind chimes installed until next week. The wind might blow and whistle a tune anyway.
