The roadworks have caused traffic to bunch up causing a continuous line of traffic apart from this guy.
He slows a little causing a gap to happen in front of him, he flashes his lights at those waiting, indicating for them to pull out. The courtesy of this guy (or gal) improves my morning commute no end. This in turn causes me to do a similar thing to those waiting at Loop road, and I often see the people I let out doing the same at Toetoe Rd.
It seems this behaviour is contagious and I strongly applaud Whangarei drivers for this.
Thank you Whangarei drivers for your courtesy and patience.

If you, an organisation or someone you know is putting in the hard yards to protect New Zealand against pests and diseases, it’s time to shine a light on their achievements.

Not sure what is happening?? I have questions and hopefully someone will know the answers.
1) Will a bulldozers come soon and straight the nice wandering walking track?
2) Orange paint makings cutting the corners.
3) Should the community be notified before straightening a walking track?

1) Will a bulldozers come soon and straight the nice wandering walking track?
2) Orange paint makings cutting the corners.
3) Should the community be notified before straightening a walking track?
4) Is the straitening for cycles?
5) What happens to the many people who love walking thru the bush walk, will they now become second class to bikes?
6) Many cycles give way at present (THANKS) however some spoil it for the rest. they speed past and without any warning.
Over many years there was talk about concrete cycle track/path, that appears they charge to stones/scoria which I would prefer. There has been many large trees cut down on the "corner cuts" knowing this was coming. I'm disappointed because I did ask when the trees were cut down and some damage to the point they died. I know my questions back then were realistic concerns. It appears now they are not bypassing the hill however looks like some large trees will be cut down in that process?.
Are you happy with the bush walk or a straighten cycle track?
I do cycle I'm not against cyclist, I love the bush and walking my dogs. Can we have both? or will cyclist need to fit in with walkers?
Glad some maintenance is going to happen. Not happy with the straightening.
Thanks Tony Gill

Along with landline phones and bar soap, top sheets are allegedly an "endangered species".
It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.
You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...
Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.
For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz
