"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.

It is a confusing document but please persevere as for the most part it assumes Wellington has a Mediterranean climate and that somehow installing boulevards will make public transport more effective and the streets safer. Something that certainly hasn't happened around Te Aro park.
Massive amounts of street access closures and reductions in car parks are proposed. If you're happy carrying your six bags of groceries home on the bus or bicycle then feel free to support it. Otherwise the main beneficiaries appear to be the shareholders in parking buildings.
As a person who uses public transport 80% of the time and also owns a bicycle, I see this latest proposal as something that will rip the soul out of the CBD, gridlock traffic - including public transport, and the only direction it will get Wellington moving is, out of Wellington.
In 2018, a NZ company trialled the four-day week and claimed a 20% increase in productivity, encouraging them to make the change permanent. A four-day work week means employees are paid for 40 hours but only work 32 of those. Should this be rolled out across the country where possible?

Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addictive eating.
AEA has members who have suffered from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. Many have been underweight, overweight or obese; others were people of average weight yet suffered with an obsession with food. Members may have used exercise and other substances to try and control their weight. Before coming to AEA, members found that they were powerless over food, and unable to stop the food obsession.
