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.

Commonly referred to as a ‘slipped disc’, a disc bulge occurs when enough stress is applied to the soft, shock-absorbing discs that sit between each vertebrae.

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! 🧠⚡️🙌

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later
“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."
“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."
