What events are you planning to check out in Wellington over the weekend?
A crowd of 30,000 Six60 fans are expected at Sky Stadium for the band’s Wellington concert. The show is one of a number of big events to coincide with good weather over the coming weekend.
The capital is set for another purple patch this weekend with tens of thousands of people having marked Chinese New Year celebrations, a concert by Kiwi band Six60 and the Wine and Food Festival on their calendars. Adding to the colour will be the on-going What if the City Was a Theatre? arts programme.
More than 50,000 people are expected to welcome the year of the ox across a series of Chinese New Year events. The festival begins with a fireworks display on the waterfront on Saturday night followed by a market, Chinese Zodiac Art Trail, lightbox exhibition, and a street parade on Sunday.

Sorry, I did not post my usual SPCA Pet of the Day on Sunday but this week it is something different, a white rabbit.

"I was roaming on a property which also had dogs on it, so for my own safety, I was brought to SPCA.
I have a strong character and will need a home with someone who is experienced with rabbits. Once I know I am loved, I calm down but at first I do come across as reactive. I would love to have a friend, I haven't met one here at SPCA, so if you have a lonely male rabbit, maybe we could be friends?
I wouldn't suit young children or a busy home as I get worried by sudden movements and loud noises. I will need a large grassy area with a weather-proof hutch for day time. At night I will need an area inside with my family."
