Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

"Molly didn’t know exactly when it all went wrong, but she was pretty sure Brad had been a massive misstep. He was a real fly boy, handsome, with a cute ruff of feathers giving him a jaunty look. He used to swagger onto her section of the beach with little fish gifts. Once, she had been on a fast-track career path at flight school, then six months later she was sitting on a guano-covered rock in a stinking estuary having to regurgitate mush for a screaming infant. It’s not that she didn’t love the little tyke, but he was never in the plans and some days she felt like her head was going to split open with his incessant asthmatic kvetching. And Brad? She hadn’t seen that no-good bounder in weeks. Red-billed gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae scopulinus). Parent and juvenile, Hutt Estuary."

A crowd of 30,000 Six60 fans are expected at Sky Stadium for the band’s Wellington concert. The show is one of a number of big events to coincide with good weather over the coming weekend.
The capital is set for another purple patch this weekend with tens of thousands of people having marked Chinese New Year celebrations, a concert by Kiwi band Six60 and the Wine and Food Festival on their calendars. Adding to the colour will be the on-going What if the City Was a Theatre? arts programme.
More than 50,000 people are expected to welcome the year of the ox across a series of Chinese New Year events. The festival begins with a fireworks display on the waterfront on Saturday night followed by a market, Chinese Zodiac Art Trail, lightbox exhibition, and a street parade on Sunday.

The band rotunda at Wellington’s Oriental Bay is on the cusp of a new beginning, with renovations beginning this week.
The rotunda building, a Wellington waterfront landmark since its original construction in 1938, has been closed since 2012, despite still bearing the signage for Bluewater Bar and Grill.
The building requires extensive strengthening and restoration.
