Dal, Dahl or Dilly Dallying.
Not just a new street in the Wallaceville Estate new housing area, but a street which will be the major linking street to a 152 housing precinct: Dahl Drive. Yet to be signposted.
I first thought: ah, it has been named Dahl because it is an Indian word meaning a type of food/meal in splendid recognition of the many people from India or of Indian origin who live in the Wallaceville Estate and in The Reserve - around a quarter or more have links to India - but no probably not.
The Indian word is spelt Dal. Dahl is a Germanic word meaning dale/valley.
Sorry. Dal would have been a good name. And I love Indian food.
But hey, there is still a chance that the naming of this street may be Indian cuisine afterall as dahl is an alternative spelling for dal.
Or are we just dilly dallying around.

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?
A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?

LIVE Q&A: Financial well-being with Cat Rikihana
Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.
Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.
Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'
She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)
