They are known around the traps at Wellington Hospital as the three wise men, but Christmas Day triplets Elia​, Rumi​, and Sameer​ Alqudah were only born in the capital because there was no room at the Auckland inn.
The three boys – Elia and Rumi are identical twins while Sameer, or Sam, is their non-identical triplet – were delivered by Caesarean section in Wellington Hospital in that order at 11.49am, 11.50am, and 11.53am on Friday.
Their mother, Dina Wahid,​ can't praise the staff at Wellington Hospital enough.

Happy New Year to everyone on Neighbourly. This week we feature Rosa Marie, who took her camera out on Christmas Day. You have got to love the picture of the pied stilt chick!

"Before the festivities began, it was a quick drive over the Pauahatanui Inlet to try and capture some Kingfishers on camera, but it turned out to be Pied Stilt kind of day as we couldn't see any Kingfishers. Most of these photos are taken from one of the hides! There were Pied Stilt chicks too so their parental concern was quite evident from lots of noisy flapping of wings at other birds when they got too close. They were quite grumpy with each other too!"

It's been a wet and warm few months which has been great for grass, but not so good for our mowing team, which has been busy trying to keep up with keeping it down.

The focus recently has been on busy sites like play areas, cemeteries and reserves, but despite our staff being a cut above the rest and working long hours straight through to the New Year, we may not get to mow and trim everywhere – so we ask for patience in the meantime, and to remember the grass is always greener!

For more info on our awesome mowing team, check out the story and video here: wellington.govt.nz...

Just 54 people showed up to an $8000, male-dominated Wellington City Council event about the city's economic future after nearly two-thirds of invitees stayed away, according to an official information release from the council.
Mayor Andy Foster and councillor Diane Calvert were the "vision setters" in November's Wellington Next: Economy forum, for which the invitation promised a "two hour interactive blast into the future from which we may not return, it’s that good”.
Do you think this is a good use of council money?
