From Mike’s Desk …
- Karori Baptist Church
- “Since our message is that Christ has been raised from death, how can some say that the dead will not be raised to life? If that is true, it means that Christ was not raised; and if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and nothing to believe. … For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our faith is a delusion and we are still lost in our sins. … If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world. But the truth is that Christ has been raised from death! The guarantee that those who sleep in death will also be raised …” (1Corinthians 15:12-20) Easter Sunday is the day of days! The celebration of the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ - the very heart of our faith and hope. Let us rejoice, and be glad in it!

Metropol-itan ?
- Eye of the Fish
- Hot on the heels of the Barrio development comes another development of inner-city apartments (first blogged on WellUrban). This one is designed by Archaus - the most prolific architects in Wellington. The site has had a couple of schemes proposed for it previously: one by Abri Architects of Auckland which was shot down in flames pretty quickly, and the other, curvy one that never really saw the light of day except for a feature in the Wellurban blog. This one may be around a little longer. The site, is a highly sought after corner close to Cuba St, right on the edge of Ghuznee St and Leeds St. Looking at architects drawings it seems to be about 14 stories tall.

The Hilton vanishes?
- Eye of the Fish
- The potential Hilton hotel has had the appeals against its consent upheld, signalling what is likely to be the end of the controversial waterfront proposal. Having started the applications process back in later 2005, the news seems like it will be a decisive blow to the project; although an appeal is possible, it must go through the High Court.

Mike Grace's Cook Strait Crossing Attempt
- Wellington Rowing Club
- Wellington Senior Men's rower Mike Grace, along with Star rower Ben Dunsheath, set out on 15 March on their first attempt to cross Cook Strait in an ocean-going rowing boat. The forecast was for a great day - 2-5 knot northerly winds and a light sea swell. However, after about half way through the trip (taking an hour and 45 mins) the wind was up to 20 knots, and Mike and Ben were forced to pull out. The attempt has not lowered the spirits of the pair, and they plan on having another crack at the crossing as soon as Wellington's weather co-operates.

Maidstone Goes PC
- Orienteering Hutt Valley
- Nice trot around Maidstone Park last night, with the Chilton St James team using it as part of their training under Anna Robertson. Can't help be struck by the culling of pinus radiata in parks round the valley - often just when a patch of them gets mature enough to allow some off-track navigation!

A city littered with poetry
- The Wellingtonista
- Now, everybody has seen the poetry which seems to appear just about everywhere down near the lagoon and around Te Papa, right? This one took me by surprise though. It's Fiona Kidman, and is in such a comparatively out-of-the-way place I literally stumbled across it.
