Bartley Street Pocket Park
The reinstatement of the land where the Bartley Street toilets were into a pocket park space is currently underway.
Bricks from the demolished toilet block are being reused for a retaining wall around the cypress trees at the front, while the remainder of the section will be converted to a grass lawn.
I stopped for a quick chat with the bricklayer today who was busy cutting away the hardened mortar from the old bricks so they could be reused for the new retaining wall.
The Kaipātiki Local Board will later be considering future options for this space.
Background: The Bartley Street toilets had come to the end of their life, and following public consultation, the Kaipātiki Local Board decided to build replacement toilets down the road at Jean Sampson Reserve rather than rebuild them at the Bartley Street site.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Home made bread problem
Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?
I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.
I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.
It can only be the flour?
What do you think?
