A huge thanks to the guy who helped me with my puppy, Tito, who got spooked in the Downtown carpark on our way to the Blessing of the Animals. Tito just planted his
backside and no amount of coaxing would shift him.
I asked this guy to help and he picked Tito up and carried him (48kg) down the ramp to the outside. I couldn't have done it without him.

To the rude young woman running on the seaside path at Thomas Bloodworth Park in Remuera on Friday morning, I hope you read this and are regretting your arrogant behaviour. I was talking to a friend and we were aware of you running towards us so I moved back off the path so you could pass between us but you decided to go behind me and shouted aggressively, "Move, move". We were gobsmacked at your rudeness.

A big thank you to Derrek and Tom from Harvey Norman, Wairau Drive, who were so kind and understanding when my husband and I returned an appliance. They made everything so easy and we know not every retailer is that customer friendly.

What's the big deal about people eating a few nuts that grow on the trees in the Domain? What exactly is the "natural nut thing" in this instance? Falling to the ground and getting run over by a lawnmower, I would think. What if it was plums or citrus? Would people all stand around thinking profound thoughts watching the fruit rotting "naturally" on the ground? Perhaps there are more nuts in the Domain than just the ones on trees.

My wife and I went on a cruise on the steam tug William C Daldy and were delighted to meet in the depth of the boiler room George, 81, who is still shovelling coal into the furnaces, and such a fount of knowledge about the old boilers and how they function.
