But we still have a few things for you to consider:
- Always have an emergency supply of at least 140 litres per person on hand (supply for seven days).
- Be aware of high fire risk warnings – there’s currently one in place for Greater Wellington's Queen Elizabeth Park in Paekākāriki.
- Take care if you're doing anything that could create a spark, particularly at the hottest and driest time of the day (after 2pm). This includes using mowers, welders, and other powered tools.
- Watch where you park vehicles or use motorbikes – hot exhausts can set fire to grass easily in dry conditions.
Make sure you know your fire risk 👉🏼 www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

About 10 days ago my family was clearing out my dad's garage at the end of Fleetwood Grove (between xmas and new year) we had a couple of skip bins in the driveway which intrigued some neighbours and parkgoers. An older brother and sister started chatting to my brother and brother-in-law and they invited them into my dad's garage for a look around. He has been an engineer by trade so he has lots of fascinating things. My brother offered the man to take a radio. He took this orange one as in the picture below. Unfortunately, we hadn't really looked at all of the radios yet and my son had had his eye on this one as it goes perfectly with his grandad's clock - also see below. it is a good grandad cobo to remember him by.
The sister had a family connection to our family name - Blackler. so that was interesting. But if anyone recognises this brother and sister, then please get in contact. We would love to be able to have the radio back. You are welcome to choose a different radio! (both brother and sister are slim build, grey hair, not sure how local they are).
thank you!

And, with sun forecast within the next hour or so in Kapiti. the heavy rain possible in the Tararua Ranges is unlikely to add to this early morning’s trace.
The daily average temperature to date is 23.5 degrees, the same as last year and a few points above average. Sunshine is also slightly up on last January, and rainfall of course is way down.
If you have lost your mobile phone or know somebody that has contact me. I found a phone this morning at the above location.
