I am a very gorgeous, loveable and confident old girl. I am nicknamed Silent Bob, as I don't meow often. I am currently in foster care with my amazing foster mum and here's what she has to say about me; "Bobbi is a lovely healthy cat with energy and spirit that belies her age and circumstances. She shows a mix of confidence and caution, possibly the result of developing independence at an early age. She is wonderful company without being needy and she eats and drinks well and is fully house trained. She loves to be around, either sitting on my lap or the end of my chair and immediately follows me to bed at night. Although Bobbi is a lap cat, she's not a cuddly cat and likes only a little patting, preferably around head and face. She does also have some indemnities her new family will need to be made aware of, but we can chat about this when you meet her “

They will present a “Salon Concert” intended to give Kapiti audiences a taste of what famous Kiwi soprano Rosina Buckman's tour would have sounded like a century ago.
New Zealand has a long history of classical music and this year, one hundred years will have passed since the singer – who in her day attracted audiences of ten thousand or more to concert halls around Europe – undertook an epic tour of the entire country to celebrate her return to the Southern Hemisphere. Rosina and her accompanists, Cellist Adelina Leon and pianist-composer Percy Kahn played 110 concerts in 1922 to enthusiastic audiences around Australia and New Zealand, most of which were sold out.
The 2022 programme is called “Homecoming” and will offer high-level music interspersed with funny and enchanting anecdotes from the 1922 Buckman tour comparing life on the road then and now – including some vignettes of Kapiti life then. "We're looking to create a special atmosphere," says pianist Mews. "We will play a piece and chat to the audience as if we were playing in their sitting-room at home. People will be able to hear the music much as it would have been heard by audiences when it was performed a hundred years ago".
On the musical side, the group will present some of the period music from the original tour, notably Arditi's “Il Bacio” and a piece composed by Molly Carew for soprano and piano “Love's a Merchant”. There will be an arrangement by Percy Kahn of “Ave Maria”, and other pieces for cello, piano and vocals. The group will also present some of their own favourites including Brahms' “Intermezzo in B flat” and Offenbach's “L'Etoile” scored for soprano, cello and piano.
A delightful and historic afternoon of music and history is in prospect and organiser Mary Gow is delighted to have this unusual and intriguing performance as part of her 2022 Mulled Wine concert series. The concert will take place in Paekakariki's beautiful Memorial Hall on the sea front with its unrivalled views of Kapiti Island and special acoustic qualities.

Why not transfer the annual Black Hawk Corgi Races organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club based in Upper Hutt, to a real racetrack.
So contacted Wellington Racecourse regarding their Trentham Racecourse and told them about the fun annual Corgi races which has a free entry and has its dog food and treats prizes sponsored by MasterPet and gets hundreds of spectators come and watch such a fun and cute event and attracts media attention.
Well, Wellington Racecourse must be very hard up because they wanted $1150.00 for 50 metres of their racecourse for a couple of hours all up on the only weekend day they had available in November. And we are a not-for-profit organisation.
Disappointed. I am sure that other Corgi races held on racing tracks in Britain and the USA do not charge anything and in some cases they also allow use of racing dog (Greyhounds and Whippets) starting gates if they have them. In one case a Corgi race has featured every year at half time of a football match in the USA with over 50,000 people watching live.
How about just 50 metres of the inside the track part of the complex where other sports are played, I asked.
The Wellington Racecourse management came back with a $575 offer.
I suppose I will keep the races at a local public park and wait until Trentham Racecourse has its multi storied apartments so it will be in a better financial position to downsize its hire out fees for 50 metres of turf.
