"It seemed like a kotare kind of afternoon at the Pāuatahanui Inlet today! Trying to get nice and close to my Kingfisher friends as they were hunting for crabs as the evening was drawing in. At one stage, there were as many as 3 sitting on a piece of driftwood!
A lone spoonbill was spotted having a feed in the distance before it took off"

I am a lively girl with lots of energy that requires a home that has large breed, dog experience and is keen on furthering my training as I have not had much previously. Dog obedience classes would be great for me. I have been mixed with other dogs here at the Centre so I could go to a home with another dog - one that is social and happy to share their home and life with me. I am not suited to a home with cats and younger children as I don't have the most appropriate manners. I sometimes forget that I am not a tiny dog.
When I am one on one with people, I slow down and enjoy any love and cuddles you can provide. I am eager to learn new things when I'm not being a total goofball! I may need someone around for parts of the day, just until I am more settled into my routine and to help further my toilet training. If you think I am the dog for you, apply to adopt me today!"
Upper Hutt could be a whole lot more attractive than it is.
It has plenty of parks and reserves and grassy areas but it cannot be termed a "Garden City".
It's street roads are becoming second rate if not already and this is not a good sign.
Pride is missing.

Almost all the non-sports grassy grounds/parks are weedy and not carefully or more regularly mowed. Attention should be paid to make all grassy areas look well cared for and inviting. The contractors engaged for mowing by council fall short in quality of equipment and personnel to those who are engaged by private companies.
I spent a over a week in the Hawkes Bay just recently and all its parks and grassy greens I saw and walked on were carefully manicured and weed-free.
Many street roads in Upper Hutt are in need of resurfacing and repairing and the material and methods used should be of a higher quality than most of our roading has been enduring. Most people would like smooth roading that is better for vehicles, e-scooters, bikes and people on foot and that lasts longer before repairing or resurfacing is required.
Covid is having a big impact on Hutt Hospital. Up to one in three patients coming through Hutt Hospital's emergency department have Covid-19. At the same time as dealing with the influx of Covid patients, the ED was having to scramble to fill holes in the roster.

At the same time as dealing with the influx of Covid patients, the ED was having to scramble to fill holes in the roster.
About 800 doctors and nurses at Wellington's three hospitals have been off sick or in isolation this week – that is nearly 15 per cent of the clinical workforce.

It was always going to end up in tears as in "tearing up" because it was allowed to drag on and on.
Twenty three days should have been one day on the grounds and surrounds of parliament - and not even a single overnight. No camping or glamping. No construction of toilets and showers.

Twenty three days should have been one day on the grounds and surrounds of parliament - and not even a single overnight. No camping or glamping. No construction of toilets and showers.
Of course as time marched on army members at Trentham should have been brought in just to back up the police and under the instructions of the police.
Politicians of a main-stream kind addressing a crowd that was more a mob due to the differing and in some cases, maniacal reasons for their being there would have been rendered useless and maybe even more cause for inciting rage among people in the audience. It was Trump infusion territory and that is where some of the protesters got their cue from.
In the end it can only be regarded as a disgraceful episode that achieved little apart from Covid spreading, and was less damaging than a Russian rocket attack on residential and commercial buildings in the Ukraine. If mandating was one of the key elements to this protest then the protesters are lucky they were not trying to man date Putin.
As a footnote, so the trains closed shop on the day and night of the police removal action. It was good that they did. They should have done this weeks prior when other Covid protest marches had taken place and the train services had allowed the carriages to be filled up by almost 100% unmasked protesters without any comment from staff on the trains.
