It's that spooky time of year and while there are some streets that welcome Halloween and set themselves up for trick or treating, there are other houses where you're more likely to get an earful than Halloween lollies. Do you think there's a place for Halloween in NZ?

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

Greetings -

My good friend Kish owns a jewelry store on Cable Car Lane off Lambton Quay. Since the cruise ships are starting to come to Wellington, he needs help now to greet potential customers and invite them into his store.

Experience in the jewelry industry is not needed, for the position does not involve sales in the store. It calls for a person to stand in Cable Car Lane and inform the people standing in line to by a cable car ticket about the unique nature of the store. Consequently, Kish is looking for someone who is extroverted, charismatic, and comfortable with speaking to large groups of people.

Hours and days are highly flexible. Pay is $22.70 an hour. Please call or text Kish at 0210356223. He's really a good guy and you will enjoy working for him.

Best wishes - Michael

A first for Friday Feathered Friend - a pic of redpolls in Upper Hutt -courtesy of Rosa Marie.
"The great thing about going back to a favourite place is that you are always guaranteed to see something a bit different every time. I couldn't get enough of the redpolls that I happened to spot bathing at the water's edge near the playground. It was magical!
Unfortunately the ducklings had gone from at least about 30 to none at all yesterday so I think that the kāhu would have been working his way through them.
Plenty of yellowhammers and rosellas to be seen too! I loved seeing the Australian shovellers up at the Bridge by the Hobbit sign."
