"The bird feeders are now bringing in a few more different varieties of small birds. Today a flock of greenfinches visited, and a sole yellowhammer! The yellowhammer (pictured right) was a real treat, as you know they are around as they are very tuneful, however they are difficult to see at times. Our kaka also visited at least twice today!"
Another great story!

Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.
While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.
Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.
“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.
While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”

I am from Miami, Florida, USA, the cutting edge of dance music since the '70's. I love to dance and have have literally enjoyed thousands of hours in clubs across the planet.
Over lockdown, I have compiled some of the best dance music that I have heard into 1 playlist. It has 120 dance tunes, from the '70's to the '90's, with some classic rock included that will get you off your bum. Here it is.

If you enjoy this music, I invite you to come to one of my meetups every Friday at a different bar in Wellington. We always get drink specials until 10:00 and free nibbles. You will have fun though even if you do not drink. For more information, check out these links.

The council deemed all parking free during 2020's alert level 4 and all but one day of level 3 but not this time around. A look around central Wellington streets late on Saturday morning found many empty parks but most of those cars that were parked had been ticketed. Some stretches of road had tickets on every parked car.
Do you think parking should be free in lockdown?
Apologies to all - A bit over a week ago, I set out to notify our cancellation of our Book Fair in the Events section and experienced an Internet connection failure - and then overlooked getting back to it.
Please LOOK OUT FOR A NEW DATE - possibly in the new year
