Yarns in Barns Wairarapa Festival of reading kicks off this weekend

This organic, community-led festival hosts an eclectic range of events for all ages in venues from Masterton to Martinborough. Check out the the full festival programme at yarnsinbarns.co.nz. There’s an interesting diverse line up of events and presenters including Ethically Kate and the Two Raw Sisters.
Festival kicks off this Friday with Here for a Good Time with comedian Chris Parker (14th October 7pm Copthorne Solway Masterton)
Chris Parker is the outspoken, witty and charming personality famous for his charismatic sketches of life in lockdown. Since then, he has been crowned the winner of Celebrity Treasure Island, had his lockdown felting project bought by Auckland Museum, featured on the latest season of Taskmaster and performed sold-out stand-up shows across NZ. His insights on life as a larger than life openly gay, unapologetically camp man in Aotearoa will have you laughing and relating.
His new book allows readers to take Chris home with them for a pick-me-up whenever they need it. He will be in conversation with Nick Holm senior lecturer in Media Studies at Massey University

Merry Christmas -
I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.
Best wishes - Michael

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
