God Save The Queen
It certainly seems that Elizabeth The 2nd, Queen of Great Britain & Northern Ireland and NZ among others, is ailing at a rather rapidly increasing pace.
Many people in the UK and NZ are hoping for her modernistic and capable grandson William to immediately be transformed to next in succession and take over the role occupied by the Queen. But it looks obvious Charles and Camilla will become King and Queen any day now.
NZ is already a country with both sides of its political aisle looking to dispense with royalty as the head of state and proclaim a republic with an elected president mirrowing to a great extent what a British King or Queen embodies in NZ.
And so the dour, slightly off key and tainted (re Diana) Charles with his unglamorous wife would hasten both NZ (and Australia) becoming republics within the Commonwealth of Nations, do the John Key-thing and fashion a new NZ-own flag and also most likely offically recognise Aotearoa as NZ's number one nation-recognised title.
For me, whoever has at least one Pembroke Corgi they call their own at either Buckingham Palace or Government House gets my support.
Tai Chi October - December 2024
Hi, I'm Andrew Hardwick, Tai Chi Instructor and member of NZ National Tai Chi Chuan Association Incorporated (NZNTCCA). The name of my wellness-focussed Tai Chi class is Not Strictly Tai Chi. The quirky name is a humorous twist on the name of shows like "Strictly Come Dancing", and from the fact that (a) I'm not strict and (b) If I see an exercise I think would provide a health benefit to my Tai Chi students, I will add it to my class offerings.
My Upper Hutt venue is Te Kupenga o Rongomai - Maidstone Sports Hub. Classes are in school term times only, and are open to all ages.
So far in 2024 we've had ages ranging from Mums attending while their kids are at school, through to retired people looking for healthy exercise.
