PΔ«wakawaka (NZ Fantail) are notoriously difficult to photograph, they never sit still, add to the fact that the Black pΔ«wakawaka (South Island) is only 4% of the population, this is the only in-focus photo I have of the Black PΔ«wakawaka

Personally I’d prefer Whanganui but it’s not all about me. Apparently.

We may end up being closer. We’re likely to be on the Kāpiti Coast before long.

A couple of people have shared a disgusting post Better Wellington have made about me today. Three things: I will never attack my colleagues or anyone like they do, I am sad that others think it’s ok, and I have no intention of backing down on my work for the city and our people

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says β€œCan I help you find something?”

β€œI’m looking for the obituaries.”

β€œThe obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

β€œNot the one I’m looking for.”

The new, more chatty, Morning Report, is terrible. Hosts commenting on stories, is not the way to improve ratings.

I burnt my pizza badly in the oven last week, couldn't understand why the timer I set on my phone hadn't gone off. I checked it, I'd typed 15 into the calculator and hit =.
