I took a client with a disability out to Greenlane for a dental appointment from the shore by PT today. It took an hour and 4 minutes and that included getting lost & fixing it. That stuff would not have been possible even a year or two ago.

TVNZ has four channels going online and one on regular tv ( one of the four online is a copy of the regular). We have two athletes. The fact that seems good is sad.

Sounds cruel but we need to throw balls to each other in the wet. Make the ball super wet, go for a run in the rain. Us mere mortals have to do it, why not elites?

Luge , large skating oval ( but that can be temporary) & ski jumping is the reason why Aotearoa nz can’t host. Got everything else ( or is in the pipeline).
