Yesterday approaching the St Andrews crossing 3 lads on scooters decided to get the red light and cross early at the bus stop - quite a bit before the actual crossing. Luckily for me coming up I heard the first one shout out - "Lets cross here" - so I was prepared as they all just scooted off the pavement into the bus lane without a look - the last one nearly hit me - luckily the bus wasn't coming. I did shout at them to watch out for traffic.
Then this morning 6 Papanui HS lads decided to cross along Harewood road - all good as no cars but then they ambled over ignoring the fact there were 2 of us cyclists coming along - if you are going to cross then do it - don't just amble along.
Us cyclists quite often get a bad report but in both of these cases it was pedestrians that were not taking care. If I had swerved to avoid the scooter boys and hit a car, then it would have been the cyclist at fault
that is my winge over for today.

"Don’t prioritise your looks my friend, as they won’t last the journey.
Your sense of humour though, will only get better with age.
Your intuition will grow and expand like a majestic cloak of wisdom.
Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.
Your capacity for stillness, for living in the moment, will blossom.
Your desire to live each and every moment will transcend all other wants.
Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall.
Don’t prioritise your looks my friend,
they will change forevermore, that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment.
Prioritise the uniqueness that make you you, and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls to dance in your orbit.
These are the things which will only get better.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.
Join my clients and enjoy clean windows this August.

So, it might be timely for complainers to read the following article from the highly respected ABC News.

"Dave next door is the best - we live in an apartment block in the CBD and every day he gets up and cleans the driveway- always puts out everyone’s rubbish bins and scrubs them out every time they are emptied. He cleaned around our pool area after a storm recently as we were busy at work. He is always first to help others whenever he can whether they have an issue with their unit or a stranger having car trouble out on the street - They don’t come better!"
