The story is out, hot off the press that Upper Hutt water leaks are taking only a max of 21days to fix.

Good job Wellington Water and UH City Council. Yeah, right.
Less than a few months ago a leak in busy Ward Street took almost 4 months to fix during that time thousands had to step over or wade through the 24/7 water wastage. Around the same time other people in UH reported the 2-3 months delays in public water leaks being attended to and one person spoke of six months gap between first report and repairs.
At the very least there could be some honesty.
One does hope that there are plans to put into action for a few days gap only between leak spotting and leak fixing.

But while we are still here, Petone's Jackson Street is a little Melbourne for its food and drinking outlets.
Last time I counted there were 38 places along a kilometre stretch of Jackson Street that provided food and refreshments - mostly by way of restaurants - but someone else has done a recent count and got up to near 70.
That latest figure represents a wide variety of choice. And parking though limited and mostly in ultra narrow streets , is still free and that's the way most Petone-ites want it.
My birthday is coming up so guess I will be somewhere in Petone if not Brewtown, on the night.

The central part of the disc (nucleus pulposus) pushes on the supportive outer layer (annulus fibrosis), causing it to ‘bulge’ past its natural boundary.
The intervertebral discs are important as they ensure optimal movement of the spine, provide cushioning to the spinal column, and allow for translation of force/weight through the spine.
A disc bulge can vary in severity, and therefore also vary in symptomatic presentation. It doesn’t just depend on the size of the bulge, but more so its location and the extent of nerve involvement:
🟣 Mild - may cause no symptoms, or just mild local pain.
🟣 Moderate - causes discomfort and pain, and compensatory muscle response.
🟣 Severe - considerable local pain, and my also press on the nerve root causing neurological symptoms. 💥
Disc bulges can often be managed conservatively with chiropractic care, restorative movement, and strength work. Understanding the repetitive stressors that have contributed to the disc injury is crucial, so that lifestyle modifications can also be made. 🏋️♀️
A thorough assessment can provide enough information to determine the extent of the disc involvement, and therefore the appropriate plan of care. However if the disc injury is more severe, referral to a specialist for further diagnostic testing and imaging, like MRI, is likely. 🕵️♂️🩻📑
Our spines are not invincible! Ensuring we are doing the best we can to look after them, keep them moving and functioning well, and allow them to adapt to the stressors of our lives more appropriately should be a priority for everyone! 🧠⚡️🙌
