There will be a big festivity happening at Te Rauparaha in Porirua for Eid this weekend to mark the end of Ramadhan fasting month. Fun, Food & Games at this Free Event. Opened to all, so? Bring the kids to enjoy a cultural experience! We'll be having an inside stall (think Rendang with bread, our famous cinnamon rolls & donuts, Pizzapuffs, Apple Pie & Lychee Bubbleteas). EFTPOS Available. The only catch is that Eid is confirmed only after moonsighting on Friday 21 Apr. Therefore, watch this space for confirmation as to whether this event is Saturday OR Sunday! Either way, it's 9.30am -3.30pm. See you there.

Another wonderful image from Simon Woolf. It was taken on the Kāpiti Coast.

"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."

What are the worst streets in our city for larger vehicles?

Editor Reporter from The Post

A truck stuck got stuck a narrow Wellington road this week - and it is not the first big-wheeled victim of the capital’s tight thoroughfares.

Some Wellington streets are more likely than others to collect wedged buses and trucks, with one resident saying in 2016 that a stuck bus was a … View more

Some Wellington streets are more likely than others to collect wedged buses and trucks, with one resident saying in 2016 that a stuck bus was a six-monthly affair on one bend.

Honey and Lemon is an old favorite.
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
2 Tablespoons of honey
1/2 cup of hot water
Do not use boiling water as the heat will destroy the antioxidants and enzymes in the honey.
Great for a sore throat.
