Inattention on the road
To the bloke who thought it was a good idea to fly down Cape Hill Road, Pukekohe at 8am this morning drifting on to the other side of the road. Did you stop and think how the people in the vehicle you were heading towards felt when seeing you on their side at speed. A mum dropping her three children off to school to see your Audi heading towards them. Whether is was distraction from your phone or just lack of skills on the road spare a thought for others. A mother very upset at what had happened could have ended tragically. Pay attention.

Dead cat
I saw a dead cat on Everglade Drive this morning near the crossing of Keri Anne place. It had been placed near the pavement. Black and white colour. Young. Did not look like it had been dead too long. If you know anyone who is looking for a cat, please inform.
