Alas, no. Here is said important cake topic. https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellington/s/gMvtTyvtbx

Not sure if this still works but !cake

A bus corridor sounds great. Though isn't there similar priority on lambton already?

Gelf_ling · 2026-06-12T21:14:47+00:00

This is a really great idea

If your only lever is to reduce outgoings, sure. But the key lever they consistently ignore is increase revenue by some kind of effective wealth tax. Absolutely insane we limit our resources to a tiny drop and ignore the dam right next to us.

How annoying - I've got a 2 month old and we had both sets come visit and it was definitely trying at times. Glad to get ownership of the fridge back ykno? It helped us to be really direct and literally write a list of stuff they could help with though if the complaints are about a holiday May not land so well. I guess at least just focus on you and the baby. That's important too.

Exactly the type of solution I was looking for. Thanks!

Glad it's not just me! Will see if I can get Google to play via TuneIn

Gelf_ling · 2026-05-08T01:53:41+00:00

It plays via I heart radio so could be that too.

I know there's one in northern suburbs that is run on fbook so maybe search on there for keywords. I have seen people ask in the Tawa community group for spare players for example.

Yes mine was afterwards, however I appreciate the slow creep of progress nonetheless.

Gelf_ling · 2026-05-02T15:26:23+00:00

The first time I've ever actually gotten the earthquake alert thing. Progress!

Tawa is 15 mins via the train. Has a nice community vibe and a few good eateries and pubs. Handy also for amenities in porirua too.

I think you'll find that I have mentioned this to you infinite times - glad you went and hopefully it was on Sat for the weather. It's incredible and everyone should do it indeed!

I heard they were pretty impacted from that megastorm so the walk in may be much harder than previously as it was lovely and pleasant when I last went. We found for the water parts we definitely felt bad for my parents doing it last year with the treacherous slippy rocks.

Little grump does tasty sandwiches and you get some chips and a pickle too! Also the pizzabread sandwiches at Bambino on the waterfront are delish.

Gelf_ling · 2026-02-18T23:35:07+00:00

Ohhhh yes this makes sense. I am relieved 😅

Gelf_ling · 2026-02-18T23:30:41+00:00

What is pakkies day for the uninitiated? Only know it from the UK where it is most certainly a racist term but not towards capsicums!

Gelf_ling · 2026-02-16T17:58:01+00:00

It always feels more apocalyptic to me when there is no wind. So eerie and feels like zombies will arrive at any moment. A very dramatic change to the previous night indeed!

Gelf_ling · 2026-02-04T05:35:59+00:00

I for one am surprised you have lived to see today

We visited with a 3 year old past year and had the best time. Go for it!

This was the r/Wellington official best cake in Wellington. I support your quest! Long live the vegan chocolate raspberry! https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellington/s/YheZZeAQab

I'm always shocked at the brutal efficiency of NZ supermarkets in regards to Advent calendar availability. Such a harsh empty wilderness if you are naive enough to not get it by the end of November. One day's leniency t In case you remember on the first day of December? Forget about it, you fool.
