There is a desperate shortage of office space in Ponsonby. I know this because every morning when enjoying a quiet pre-work coffee and read of the Herald, I am surrounded by ID-wearing middle managers holding urgent way-too-early and very loud business meetings. If I hear the words "best practice"or "robust" one more time, I might use the ID-card lanyard to strangle someone.

Absolutely incredible service from Mark at Panmech Services, McColl St, Newmarket. After a minor car accident, he came to my rescue by stitching and taping up my broken bumper and light so that I could return to my rural home. No charge!
I know that getting people to talk about advertising, good or bad, is always regarded as good. But screaming little girls advertising cars is driving me nuts; I can't reach for the remote quick enough. If I win Lotto tomorrow, no way would I buy one of those cars, whatever they are.
Thanks to the fantastic staff at the Herald Theatre on Tuesday night for looking after my elderly mum and stepdad. You really went the extra mile escorting them up the stairs, then seeking them out afterwards and escorting them to their car. They loved the Hudson & Halls show, but you really made their night.

To the group of pigs who used Myers Park for their end-of-year Christmas party and presentation the weekend before last: thanks for leaving your rubbish and trash in the area where children play.
If it's good enough to arrive at a park which is in a clean state, the least you can do is remove your trash and leave the park as you found it.

Went to use the BBQs at Cornwall Park on Sunday before last. Many thanks to the guys from the Korean church in Milford for fire and the lovely Fijian dad helping with kindling. I just melted, and it wasn't the flames.
