"This is our spring friend, Thomas the tūī , enjoying nectar from a kowhai tree my sister gave us as a present over 20 years ago! The kowhai is such a feature in our garden, having been replanted as a small tree, which hadn't as yet flowered, from our first home in Standen St. Thanks heaps Deb."
Who recognises this famous photo from the Stuff archives?
Hint: It has come to represent a pivotal moment in New Zealand history.
It is not Feathered Friend Friday but a beautiful white tūī has been spotted in Wellington.
Thank-you Sean Gillespie for your lovely pictures.

We have a flatmate moving out at the beginning of December so we need to find someone else to move into our house to replace them.
Current flatmates are 2 professonal males, early 30's & 40's. We are both very easy going, sociable and looking for someone similar in age and interests.… View moreWe have a flatmate moving out at the beginning of December so we need to find someone else to move into our house to replace them.
Current flatmates are 2 professonal males, early 30's & 40's. We are both very easy going, sociable and looking for someone similar in age and interests. Male or Female, we aren't picky!
House is located in Thorndon, off Bowen St. Rent will start at $235 a week but we have been advised it will be increasing $15 / week in January, so easier to say $250 / week, plus expenses, which include Fibre Internet & TV services.
You can message me here or text me on 02102366806 for a viewing.
Thanks, Paul
Approaching later primary school years can be a time of mixed emotions for students and their parents. Independence is emerging in the form of homework and study time, interest in specific subject areas might be developing, and ideas about the world and how to make a positive impact are surfacing.

The Downer NZ team will start on the city side of Greta Point and work back towards the city as far as Weka Bay. Stop/go traffic management, and a 30km/h speed limit will be in place Mondays to Fridays, 9am-4pm.
Please take extra care walking, running, biking, scooting and driving through this area. Work will take about 8 months.
The improvements are part of Tahitai, the biking and walking route from the east that has been taking shape at Ōmarukaikuru/Pt Jerningham, and along the Kilbirnie foreshore next to Cobham Drive.
They will also form part of Te Aranui o Pōneke/the Great Harbour Way. For information, visit

Take an old children’s table and turn it into a fun and tactile sensory board.
Sensory boards can be made with all sorts of textures and themes for young children, and are great learning tools. Let your children help choose the Resene colours and help fun with contrasting colours.

Yes, another one… but this one is special: it’s a falls prevention exercise class for seniors, and it only costs a gold coin. Age Concern Wellington’s Ann Dalziel has started three new weekly classes in Lower Hutt (Knox Church), Khandallah (St Barnabas Church), and Churton Park (community centre). Age Concern Wellington now has 25 Steady as You Go exercise classes running each week around the Wellington Region. From Upper Hutt to Island Bay and over to Whitby, there’s a class near you.
“My balance has improved so much,” says one class participant, “and I’ve made many new friends here.”
These classes are designed to improve strength and balance and help prevent a fall. Steady as You Go classes improve balance and leg strength, flexibility, general fitness, and wellbeing. But most importantly perhaps, these classes are a great way to meet new people.
Classes consist of a combination of sitting, standing and walking exercises, and take around an hour. Call 04 499 6648 or visit www.ageconcernwellington.org.nz... for more information.
Falls are not a natural part of ageing!

One of the great things we love about the beautiful city of Wellington is the melting pot of cultures in our community.
We are so lucky to be able to learn and experience different languages, foods, ideas, dances, and music. We are fortunate that our Greta Point families are happy to share these experiences with us too!
Over the coming weeks we are celebrating our Samoan Aīga (family) and Tamaiti (children) in the center. Nardia has been singing Samoan’s songs to the tamaiti and Jo has been creating magic in the kitchen with Samoan Masi (biscuits).
The mix is quite wet, and we reduced the sugar and increased the cooking time – they have a texture similar to shortbread but a taste similar to Krispy biscuits – and were a BIG hit with the tamaiti and faiaoga (teachers). (I might have sampled a few just to make sure they were up to scratch!). Attached is the recipe for you to try at home.
Happy Cooking!
Manuia le afiafi
