aro cafe
- Breakfast this morning with Mischief Bad Group was at Aro Cafe, and while I love Aro Cafe (they have good coffee, an excellent wine list and their dinner is outstanding), I'm not pleased with their breakfast.

Vosseler Shield, Interclub Hilly Cross Country Races
- Wellington Scottish Athletics Club
- The rainy week and day left the course a bog in parts, greasy in others. Top performances in the M19 race with a first, fourth and fifth, by Tim Hodge, Stefan Smith and Cameron Goldsmid. That was worth a first in the teams event.

Wellington Winter Afterwork Rogaine Series - Brooklyn/Aro St
- Wellington Orienteering Association
- There were 73 participants, and all controls got at least one visit. Perhaps too many visits from the point of view of the tramps, who apparently had to move from their seat in Central Park at Control 30 for rogainers to inspect the plaque.

Street Collection Day Update - $8,459.20 raised!
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- A big thank you to everyone who helped out with the Sanctuary's first annual street Collection Day last week. We raised a grand total of $8,459.20! Over 150 volunteers collected at various locations around Wellington, including MP Marian Hobbs, who collected outside Parliament during her lunckbreak. Every cent raised will go towards vital habitat restoration and species recovery work at the Sanctuary, bringing rare wildlife back to Wellington.

Trolleyed
- WellUrban
- I really haven't had the time or inside information to look into who's right and wrong in the trolley bus funding spat. I can't tell whether there are genuine disagreements over costings, whether it's a petty squabble over who does what, or whether the various parties are just bluffing in an attempt to force someone else to pay.

BNU v. Waterside Karori
- Brooklyn Northern United AFC
- In a moment of scheduling madness this match was put down for Sunday 14th of May, the afternoon after the best FA Cup Final in living memory. To watch the magnificent footballing mastery that is Liverpool Football Club and the skills of perhaps the best player of our time, Steven Gerrard, and then have to turn up to Nairnville Park to play on a greasy pitch in inclement weather provides a contrast of Grand Canyon-like proportions.
