D-Day for the Basin
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- Today is likely to be a day of infamy for the Basin Reserve. The NZ Transport Agency is announcing the funding priorities for the Wellington region, and the Basin Reserve flyover is likely to remain as the number two priority, despite 89% of submitters being opposed to such a high priority for such a pointless project.

Blood Flows at Stream
- St Patricks College, Silverstream
- Thursday 20 August 2009: More than 70 Streamers donated blood this morning when the NZ Blood Donor Service visited. Being in the age group (17-30) that most uses the blood collected, it was great to see so many boys donating. In fact, there were too many volunteers to be catered for in the time allowed.

Not Man-Cat Monday, just a quick general update
- Cats Protection Wellington
- I'm thinking the monday/friday thing may be a bit sporadic and interspersed with general goings on at the shelter. Trying (not very succesfully) to focus on two cats a week does leave a lot out. So, tonight I'd like to introduce you to three lovely cats who have come to the shelter in the last week or so.
