Hi All.
Sorry to say that last night I picked up a large bunny off the road at the bottom of the Maoribank Hill. I put it on the grass berm in front of the large house at the bottom of Cruickshank Rd. Very sorry if this is your beloved pet

Low-carb, high-fat advocates are calling for the food pyramid to be flipped on its head in regards to school lunches, making sandwiches an occasional food rather than the norm.

This was enacted as part of an agreement and a set of circumstances between all the contracted rugby players in NZ and their franchises and the NZRFU.
So SBW took the opportunity to thread-in the charity organisation"Plunket" on both sides of the collar of his Blues jersey which means he is promoting Plunket.
The irony is that the principal sponsor of Plunket is none other that the BNZ which is one of the two sponsors that SBW discarded from his playing jersey.
SBW says he has nothing against the BNZ other than the interest fees the bank imposes but the Plunket connection with the bank still gave me a bit of a laugh.

We sing a large variety of music styles and perform regularly throughout the year. Rehearsals are in Upper Hutt on Sunday afternoons. Kids don't need to read music or audition to join The Major Minors Children's Choir. Current members are aged 4-15.
We also have an extension group The Harmonic Minors which is auditioned. This group assists with harmonies with the Major Minors and they have their own repertoire too.
Our term fees are very reasonable as we run this group voluntarily.

The NZ and Aussie national anthems were also boosted by Anita leading the singing of them.
Women taking leading roles at the 2017 UH parade was not lost on me. The well composed address from a woman representing the military was appreciated.

There must be an election on . . . although that's a bit unfair because Winston Peter has been a regular speaker at Upper Hutt Grey Power over the years. And it looks like he made a few good points too.
What will the election for our seat of Rimutaka bring, we can only wonder.
Are their any issues we as a community need our candidates to address?
And would you be keen on a all-in public meeting, would you attend or are they a thing of the past?

Got a replica AB 2017 test playing skin-tight jersey for my birthday.

But it does come with AIG breast-high in bold white letters on an otherwise black piece of expensive cloth,
AIG is a despised American company that has taken many Americans and others world-wide to the cleaners in the insurance field and invoked the ire of President Obama by getting bailed out by the Federal Government and at the same time paying huge bonuses to its failed directors and CEOs.
So why do I carry AIG around with me advertising their name. Well I should be blotting it out with tape but I feel that with the jersey comes warts and all. I want the whole deal.
Sonny Bill has the guts, the mana, the ability and the contract to scrub off from his rugby jerseys advertising he doesn't religiously appreciate. Banks such as BNZ gain too much profit at the expense of its customers from exorbitant interest bearing loans, from ridiculous and increasing bank fees and so on. And most of the profits go to another country. Westpac, ANZ/National and ASB are no different

Households are being told to shop around for better power deals as some power companies lifted their prices in April. On the flip side, smaller companies like Electric Kiwi won't be raising power prices this year and are challenging the big power companies to do the same.
