Lower Hutt's new waste and recycling scheme hasn't gone to plan with about 18,000 households being delivered the wrong collection schedule. Some residents’ recycling has gone uncollected. Nearly half of Lower Hutt’s 40,000 households were told to put their bins out on the wrong day, marring the start of the city’s new rubbish and recycling programme.

"When I was young I didn’t like the boatsheds. To my eye they looked derelict and unkempt – a hotchpotch of too bright clashing colours, and all of them peeling to reveal bleached wood underneath. They reminded me of my Nana’s crocheted rugs with frayed threads and darned patches. I liked things shining, new, and squared away. Anything else smacked of some sort of failure, either of duty or poverty.
Now that I’m older, and not untouched by time myself, I realise that decay is inevitable, and, more importantly, there is texture and beauty in it. The sea, like life, can be a rough place. The winds carry salt and sand, storm surges leave marks and baggage piled around the high tide mark, sometimes spilling over onto the little docks. But in this flotsam, rotting seaweed, silt, and tangled tree branches are a million little bugs, fish, and crabs – a roiling primordial soup seasoned with iodine and salt and feasted on by the birds. Nothing is lost - just transformed. Sacred kingfisher/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) catching the light at the Hutt Estuary boatsheds, Hikoikoi Reserve, Lower Hutt."

It is my entry for this week's Art of Birding Challenge "Sense", which had to highlight one of the five senses - I've gone for "taste". What kid hasn't stuck their tongue out in the rain or snow?"

He said that he tried to catch up with the person to give back the satchel but they were going to fast. He lives in Otaihanga and I live out here in Upper Hutt. So if you are the person that lost the satchel or you know the person that lost it, please contact me on 0212128040 and I will pass on my brothers phone number so you can collect it.
