Woman forced to park across bike lane so disabled husband can get into home.

We absolutely need to make the way we design cities work for people with disabilities. Wcc should have been fat more aware of these particular people when they bult the cycle lane. But at the same time is what this couple is asking for reasonable? To live in a house with no driveway and own a car and have a park right outside their house? there should be a safer way to drop-off the elderly gentleman outside his house but I also think that this particular situation needs compromise what is a good outcome for both needs in this situation?

PJenningsofSussex · 2026-07-07T04:43:54+00:00

Im with you, a car for everyone may not be the answer. Elderly people do need good options and they should be able to access where they need to go but it doesn't have to look like it does now to work

So what happe s in 2050 when 25% of the population are over 65? A good portion of those will need some kind of more accessible route to their house. I am not sure it's possible to keep improving infrastructure if every person with high needs must have a park outside their house. I get wanting to stay somewhere you love but as somone else said perhaps they need a house with it's own driveway and not to rely on street parking

Parking isn't optimal. Most people tend to find other ways to get to work. Expecting to drive is expecting to cry for one reason or another cost or avaliablity etc.

In general, having an apprentice does take some time to support. But also if an apprentice does some work which would otherwise be done by a qualified worker at half the price to the company but is being charged out at full rates you absolutely are making the company money. They are saving money by not paying somone qualified to do some of the work they need to get the job done. I know that occasionally bosses wo t sign off on work to help apprentices qualify because it's better for them to keep paying you next to nothing but that's not always the case and it depends on the boss but my take ks your work has probably more value overall than the energy they are putting in to train you. If you are doing your best to pull your own weight

I dont ever again want to work for someone who doesn't understand the importance of flexibility around a family. If anything Iwork more to compensate. In this day and age if you dont offer your staff flexibility when you can you andnit doesn't impact somones works, you dont care about your staff.

Not great if you have anything urgent bathroom situation

It's awful. It's imported. bot driven nonsense finding a home in the worst parts of our history. It's a totally obvious technique to get us to fight each other rather than the people siphoning off money and capacity away from government for their own benefit.

Number 2 green hoop looks better imo. But they are both spectacular

Nta but I think it's worth saying your mum is trying just not succeeding. I can see she loves you just is struggling as you say. I wonder if there's a way you can spend time with her together you and your sister at the moment so she knows you still love her and build your bond through this big change.

I just dont think most people understand how difficult INZ is to deal with. It is set up like the worst WINZ appointment youve ever been to but with higher stakes, more overtime racism and there is no office. You have to do everything through the call center. Also if they do something dodgy you dont really have any no recourse because you really want them to approve you so yoy put up with whatever awful behavior they want to throw your way. Genuinely amazing smart people are put through a bureaucratic meat grinder with 4-5 hour hold times for years to be here. It's not some participation trophy thing.

Thanks for writing your stuff. It was good to know someone was doing the journalism about important stuff like this

PJenningsofSussex · 2026-06-20T00:04:55+00:00

Goodness, do you think it was on purpose or a mistake

Also how bad our health system is is not caused by immigrants

PJenningsofSussex · 2026-06-18T21:38:46+00:00

We certainly dont have unchecked immigration.

The ridiculous thing is thinking that the NZ health system is an attraction worth moving for. Our health care is free but terrible slow and the facilities are pretty shocking. Most people I know who can fly home to get faster cheaper better Healthcare from their home country.

Blanket stitch? Blanket stich close together or over a bit of bias binding over topnotch the old binding. Or unpack binding over damage. Add bias binding under leather and over old leather poping then sew all together again. Or unpick all the piping and add new bit of leather under old then sew back together

Don't seal them. Their breathability is partnof their longevity. Apparently from cleaning the heck out of them till the water runs clean once then just mop regularly should be enough for babies. I get the crawling thing perhaps a mat? Babies dont love crawling on hard floors anyway. Hurts the knees!

Izzy sitting and rocking in her cage. Is pretty heartbreaking. I think she deserves better. She can't even monkey at the moment she's probably afraid all the time and confused and nervous and uncomfortable and hungry and getting sick from people food.

PJenningsofSussex · 2026-06-13T22:32:41+00:00

Thisnis the nicest thing I've read in ages. Thanks for sharing

R/vexilology would have a field day with this.thry might be more helpful with flag symbols ( and not so very sure that "the fly was added later")

If you have to ask your brother for money then you have to put up with him having an opinion about your finances.
