Having stood with Boss and his roading crew at the washed out bridge just 1 week ago with predictions saying crucial repair was weeks away, this is an incredible feat. What an amazing local effort to link up cut off whanau on the coast.
~yes but have you ever seen Clarke Gayford and me in the same room at the same time?

Nice.
Good to see the New Zealand parliament flying the Ukrainian flag today in support of it's brave people. We stand with Ukraine during this senseless immoral invasion.
Unbelievably sad news that Jeroen Jongejans from Dive Tutukaka passed away suddenly last night. A relentless driving force behind the Poor Knights Marine reserve, leaving one hell of a legacy. Thinking of you Kate and dive tuts whanau, awful news to take in.
Through excess Covid deaths NZ is 1 of only 3 countries in the world where life expectancy has actually increased.
We also have 98% of teachers vaccinated.
But best of all my hometown is only 500 short of hitting 90% first dose.
Ka pai to all of this.
It's the No 1 recommendation in the Heralds Gifts for Gourmets guide & fancy endorsement from the man himself, Mr Peter Gordon. I enjoy creating things but I'm a bit useless at promotion of said creations, so its lovely to have the support!
Christmas is how far away you say??
I only come to twitter to check this site, and what bloody good news to find. The incredible little battler 4BWRB - the little Godwit that got knocked back to Alaska after a massive 57 hour 4000km effort having to start again,only to end in New Cal, is now FINALLY coming home!
Hey good news young people, the Whangamata LK is no longer discriminating on age, what a treat. 🥴 @LiquorKingNZ
UPDATE: Hey you with the 6 pack of Long Whites and fist full of Purple Goanna's, sorry to disappoint, but LK HQ have been in touch and it sounds like someone has gone down the main street handing the signs out & they've been naively put up.
People keep saying I've gone soft and lost my dangerous edge, but I've just bought a Trampoline in Wellington.
Really rewarding move tonight on Moving Houses, with a chch earthquake orphaned house with the fantastic Nicky and Ray.

Amongst everything else which is all consuming currently, to somehow find the extra capacity to negotiate what is an incredible deal for Kiwis, I couldn’t be prouder of Jacinda and the team, I do hope people realise what has been achieved here. Great work.

Voting has opened for birdoftheyear.org.nz
and it's time to right a wrong NZ.
Last year a terrible injustice occurred when the Toroa (Antipodean Albatross) won the most votes but was knocked back by the voting aggregate system that crowned the Kakapo the eventual winner.
There's a real danger of blandness in this 5 bird voting system as it rewards bird name recognition, ie: a more obscure bird might get your vote, but then filling out the other 4 votes people fall back into their comfort birds, boosting the numbers of the well worn ie: Kakasnore
