I became disabled after suffering a head injury from a bike accident. It was terribly disappointing to see at least 30% of kids at the skate park not wearing helmets.
So, I have co-created this safety sign which I think should be used at all skate parks and BMX tracks.
One injured child is one too many.
THINK SAFETY
DON'T LET YOUR ABILITY BECOME A DISABILITY!

Saturday afternoon we heard a car engine, or several engines in turn, scream at maximum revs in the vicinity of the Kauri Hall for 20 minutes, half an hour, 3/4 of an hour? It is hard to judge, because such a thing seems to last longer than it really does, quite often.

It is hard to judge, because such a thing seems to last longer than it really does, quite often.
A few minutes after 22:00 the same thing happened again. I was considering calling police, but figured that was probably a waste of time, when the noise stopped.
Going out this morning, there were shreds of tyres, quite literally, shreds all over Apotu Road and the intersections Crane Rd. and with SH1, not to mention lots of skid marks.
It baffles me what these people thought they were achieving. I now think it would've been a good idea to go down and take a photo or two of them while they were at it. Maybe next time I will. But why anyone would go and destroy their car in this fashion is beyond me. They must have ended up with bare rims when they were done, considering the amount of chunks of rubber left behind.
Nothing could stop Hollie and Andrew Welsh from tying the knot in Bream Bay on March 5 - not a terminal cancer diagnosis and certainly not a tsunami warning. What do you think of their story?

Ben the orca was stranded in 1997 and hit by a boat in 1998, giving his dorsal fin a unique shape. Since then, he has been spotted 140 times, giving researchers important information about where NZ orca swim to. Have you ever seen Ben around Whangārei?
