So instead of using the oustandingTrentham Memorial Park for the Upper Hutt children's cross country champs, Harcourt Park was utilised today(Sunday).

On a wet day after many wet days. Harcourt Park couldn't cope with the challenge and
parts of it became a quagmire through vehicles which were allowed to sink into hitherto lovely grassed areas and the pounding feet of hundreds of competitors and spectators.

Pity the contractors who will have to clean up the mess and somehow eventually get Harcourt Park back to its best.
It may take months.

"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.

Poll: Should we have a four-day work week?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2018, a NZ company trialled the four-day week and claimed a 20% increase in productivity, encouraging them to make the change permanent. A four-day work week means employees are paid for 40 hours but only work 32 of those. Should this be rolled out across the country where possible?

An English commentator at the London Sevens Tournament was blatantly disrespectful to the champion All Blacks Sevens team in front of his co-
commentator - a Kiwi woman.

NZ were penalised for a breakdown error in playing the USA and the Englishman said NZ had been winning matches in the world series by forcing referees to favour their illegal tactics.
The NZ woman was upset at these remarks and burbled out some defence of the NZ team.

NZ went on to thrash the USA.
NZ has dominated the international series in 2023 winning 5 tournaments with the other 5 each won by a different team apart from Argentina.
Prior to London the AB 7s has already been crowned series champs.

Great Britain were well out of contention and when NZ played them in the London event last night were a well beaten side.

It will be renarkable if this commentator will be allowed to further commentate on fixtures involving NZ .
