As I sit here on a park bench, in the last 5 mins I’ve had kaka fly overhead, piwakawaka flitting from tree to tree, and a tui having a drink. I know I’ve said this before, but this just didn’t happen in Wellington when I was a kid. Really is a conservation victory to celebrate. @Brian_NZ

The mood of Wellington can always be gauged by how many ‘Milo!’ chant toots are occurring in the Mt Vic tunnel. I’m pleased to report that today they were numerous. #whywellington #cantbeatitonagoodday @mb_inthehutt

On Fridays around 10am the whole of The Terrace smells like cheese scones #justwellythings #whywellington @MasonTheKiwi

@Zambrero Courtenay Place closed early tonight and I don’t know why but I’m MAD because I really wanted a burrito.

Cuba St environs are oddly empty today and am I ever here for it. @jacksonw____

I’ve heard three Kiwis complaining about the heat today. According to the thermometer reading in my car it’s currently a scorching 24 degrees in Wellington.
