The Post this morning carried a front page story on the Wallaceville Estate and its writer, Brittany Keogh says that the Estate is sometimes called Trentham South.
Nah.
I have lived in the Estate for over 4 years and never heard from any source it being referenced as Trentham South.

Nah.
I have lived in the Estate for over 4 years and never heard from any source it being referenced as Trentham South.
Anyway I doubt that the Estate is south of Trentham proper in any case.
The Gillies developers of the Estate, Land Information NZ, NZ Post, Upper Hutt City Council all recognise Wallaceville Estate as being in the suburb of Wallaceville.
Just like Blue Mountains Campus, the Estate's "front" entrance is Ward Street which is part of Wallaceville.
If one is entering address details online, many of the organisations systems will not accept Trentham as legitimate for people with an address in the Estate.
The cut-off, cut-on points for some suburbs are often obscure.
Wallaceville Estate was once billed as eventually containing around 700 properties. This will now increase to around 800 and if three persons per household is the medium, around 2500 people will occupy the Estate.
The Estate is billed as being a safe haven from earthquakes, floods and liquefaction. The magnitude 5.7 earthquake on October 6 centred a little west of the Wellington region was felt by many, but me in the Estate within my "bullet proof" home, felt not a thing nor did the Corgi find it necessary to alert anyone.

It’s natural to want to step in when a loved one faces challenges with tasks they once managed easily. However, instead of taking over completely, finding a balance that offers support while still encouraging independence is key.
Chris Sinclair, Ryman's Community Liaison Leader, shares helpful tips for families and caregivers on how to promote independence and support overall wellbeing.

My daughter is part of a local roopu Te Huatai Katorika which is made up of three kapahaka groups from Sacred Heart College, St Bernards College and St Patrick's College.
They are in serious need of new piupiu and also need money for covering weekend stays at local Marae for the roopu to practice for kapahaka regionals and hopefully nationals next year. If any local businesses would be willing to donate items or services, it would be truly appreciated and we would display your businesses name as one of our supporters. This is also quite time sensitive as the raffle is going to be sold at our po whakanui on Thursday 17th October. Please message me if you are willing to donate towards our cause. Thanking you all so much for your consideration and helping our children realize their goals for 2024/2025 Kapahaka Regionals Journey. Letter from the school is attached for your consideration.

But neither TV One news last night nor Mike Hoskings breakfast show this morning on Newstalk ZB made mention of it. Interestingly, the same Auckland sports presenter was on both shows.
The 2024 NPC has produced a lot of good rugby with every team in with a winning chance game by game. A high number of players signalled that they were potentially up to All Blacks/international standard including Wellington second five-centre-wing, Riley Higgins and half back Kyle Preston.
Wellington also finished top of the table in 2023 and was runner-up the year previous.
Interestingly in the Wellington-Hawkes Bay match last Saturday there were at least 8 players formerly from St Pat's Silverstream among the teams.
I hope that this year Wellington will progress to win the championship title in releasing all the skill, ability and consistency they have possessed for three years..

This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.
Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.

Who else besides me has gotten annoyed well before now with TVOne weather presenter, Daniel Corbett constant use of the term: SAME THING AGAIN.
Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.

Dan uses this term at least two-three times on any evening he is doing the weather presentation. A year ago and it wasn't in his vocabulary.
Ok, NZ is not a huge country and therefore the weather region by region, city by city can be pretty similar. But to use the same terminology when there is either no need to or many alternatives, rankles me anyway.
His weather colleagues have never used this Corbett habitual three worded expression.
Another thing Dan does with so much more repetitiveness of late is the frimmp, woosh, voomb sounds of noise he makes to describe rain, wind, impending climatic conditions or whatever.
Come on Dan. You weren't doing or saying these things in the UK.
I'm sure you've seen it while doing your weekly shop... In fact, it may have even been you.
What do you think about people heading to the supermarket in their pyjamas?
