Yeah I think we're going to take our 8 yo later in the holidays as I think she'll like it too.
Took my 4 year old to the Dinosaurs of Patagonia exhibition at The Papa this morning. It's fucking spectacular. I wasn't really expecting all that much from it, and it is fairly tame to begin with, but the final exhibits are pretty amazing. Kid loved it too.
Thanks, that's solid advice. I put it together last night and it seems robust enough, so like you say if I can keep it clean and avoid rust it should last
I'll probably just stick to the standard sausages and burgers to start with. I don't eat meat myself, but the kids do, so probably won't be doing anything too fancy.
I am intrigued with the idea of using it as a pizza oven though
I ended up getting a Charmate Corona as it was far cheaper than the equivalent Webber, and is probably all I need as a beginner
My son, after watching a YouTube video where the Paw Patrol had a barbecue competition, decided that we needed to also get a BBQ - I was inclined to agree. So this morning I've headed out and bought the family the finest mid-price kettle that mitre 10 has to offer.
Now I can spend the Christmas break subjecting my family to my sure to be mediocre attempts at BBQing.
Made gyoza for the first time tonight, turned out far better than I thought it would. Took a bit of prep work, but was far cheaper and tastier than the frozen stuff from the supermarket. Even got two thumbs up from the four year old, and the seven year old went back for seconds.
Yeah can see the flight history here: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/nz7004#32fad10f
Looks like it flew over the beehive about 2:49 (I think, site says 1:49 AM UTC) at about 950 ft up.
Wasn't this by any chance? RNZAF farewell flight becomes most tracked in the world
Apparently it was flying low going over Parliament on its way down south.
I used to bike every day but kinda fallen out of the habit of late as I mostly work from home. There's been some good improvements to the both the cycle, and general road infrastructure recently which has made it a lot safer for me going into to work.
That said with the narrow winding roads in my area, there's not really any room for further cycle lanes. So unless they introduce lower speed limits, or remove on street parking, then it's probably as cycle friendly as it'll get - which is still not super friendly.
I get by because I have an e-bike and can mostly keep up with traffic if I go hard out (except for uphill), but I wouldn't recommend cycling on those roads to more casual / younger riders.
