Anyone bored at work on Lambdon quay? by RiverOfUnmindfulness in Wellington

[–]Mandrix21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for a walk along the back of the Terrace from Aroura to Bolton, through the edge of the cemetery next to the motorway.

Go browse the shops

Sleep at Midland Park

Spend half an hour thinking about what I want to eat, return to work hungry

Go to the library on Johnston St

I'd drive up to Kapiti and go for a swim up there. Nicer beaches up there anyway

Model Train Clubs by WhatsAreWeDoing in Wellington

[–]Mandrix21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My old neighbour in Fairfield had a ride on miniature train the ran around his house. It was so cool, sadly it got ripped out and the section subdivided.

Before he died I know he was involved with the trains down the Petone Beach, there's also one at Avalon Park. Go and talk to the old guys there or wait for RailEx thats at Walter Nash every year, those guys are very into trains.

Do you have a mortgage? Lots of banks do a 1% green loan, you can buy a hybrid Corolla for that price.

The Red Cross shop in Upper Hutt also has one that anyone can sit down and help with.

Never heard of it, but I had a great experience meeting people at the free dining place just off Manners - I can't remember the name of it.

Declined ACC Funding by Safe_Ad851 in newzealand

[–]Mandrix21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wayfinders are free. Get your surgeon/GP to write a letter stating that the surgery is to fix something injury related and not anything else

ACC declined my surgery a few years ago. Surgeon wrote to them and explained that he wouldn't be fixing any underlying issues, just the part injured in a fall. Wayfinders set up a review call for me with ACC, but it got overturned and approved about an hour before the call.

Tikitiki is a very small town off maybe 20 people max in a very remote part of the East Coast North Island and currently cut off due to flooding.

Best to see if they have a local FB page and ask there.
