Well that was bad to find out. The Petone to Grenada link road will have no parallel path for pedestrians or cyclists. I was told be NZTA staff that you will be allowed to walk or cycle along the road. Including through the two tunnels. 🤦 #wellington #poneke
An Italian, bowl back mandolin, with intricate inlay on the pick guard.
A close up of the ebony bridge of the mandolin, where a missing piece of ebony has been replaced between the two treble strings of the e course.
Restoring this 1915 Ceccherini Mandolin was an absolute pleasure.
Thanks to Stephen Powell, www.stephenpowell.co.nz
For supplying the ebony.
This family heirloom can now get playing again.

Annnd the power's just gone off. At least I managed to put through Mum's grocery order a little while ago. #Poneke
Blecch... avoid the south coast beaches for the foreseeable future. #Poneke #AoNZ

Do I have any moots who work at #Catalyst (or Catalyst Cloud) in #Pōneke?
Or does anyone have any recommendations for self-hosting providers in #Aotearoa (for Not For Profit organisations without much money to wave around) - for a #WordPress and #Moodle stack?
Ooh, sounds like some seriously heavy rain. #Kikorangi #Poneke (Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai).

Just as well it's not beach weather in #Poneke
And my latest experience of drivers not giving a fuck. youtu.be/NzwKSEksHbQ Got to love it when you're in the cyclelane and they'll still effectively try to run you over. 😐 #cycling #fuckcars #wellington #poneke
Well Andrew Little is our new mayor. This is zero surprising, but I feel like he's going to destroy the golden mile, which is a real bummer. #kikorangi #wellington #poneke
Little slice of #poneke history

Another reminder that paint is really not protection for cyclists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAem... Only reason this wasn't a video of me being hit is because I ride defensively and give myself room to move. #cycling #carbrain #poneke #wellington
Not feeling vindictive or anything…. But I think Homegrown will utterly suck when it’s not in Wellington.
