It's Get Ready Week, the perfect time for all of us to make sure we’re prepared for an emergency
It sits as the dividing line between our two districts, and when it comes to boundaries, you can't find many more beautiful. Have you walked the Rakaia Gorge Track?
I had a birthday this week, and being the mad planner that I am, I'm creating a list of things to do before my next birthday - which will be my 45th.
So, I'm after ideas for things to put on my list of 45 things to achieve by the time I'm 45.

So, I'm after ideas for things to put on my list of 45 things to achieve by the time I'm 45.
A couple of qualifiers: I'm not into adrenaline, so no jumping out of planes or off bridges. And they need to be things that I can do, and things that any normal person with normal resources would be able to achieve - no flying rockets into outer space or anything.
So far I've got:
1. Play a round of golf
2. Compete in a sport
3. Smash NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)
4. Read 'The Bone People' (again)
I'll be setting up a blog and tracking progress online and in print, so come at me with your best ideas - even something that you set out to accomplish and achieved and gave you a real sense of achievement. Would love to hear your stories as well!
