Cameo schedule and Defibrillator Demonstration rescheduled for 30th
What a gloomy, damp Thursday! Pop into our cosy rooms in Mahara Place this afternoon at around 1.00pm if you have been going stir-crazy at home, and listen to the group of musicians that has developed into good friends over the years they have been meeting - you'll never know quite what they'll be playing, but sing along anyway !
And don't forget Susie's very valuable Defibrillator Demonstration on Friday 30th at 1030am - don't miss this - we have so many of these machines in Kapiti now and need as many people as possible to know what to do in an emergency -
Have a lovely day today - think of me splashing in mud puddles shortly at Wilf and Jan's Reikorangi Farm Park feeding my lovely friends there - THANK YOU JEREMY FROM MR CHIPPER FOR ALL THE MULCH TO BATTLE THE MUD!! XXX
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI
This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.
We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.
Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.
November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
