So I was out Saturday morning doing my normal brisk 45-minute walk. A Fall On an Outstretched Hand due to the uneven One Tree Hill footpath meant I spent the rest of Saturday in medical waiting rooms, with a plaster cast on my left (off) wrist from 11pm. We bailed from Auckland Hospital at 1.30am when the nurse checked with the CT team and shared that the night shift wasn&#39;t going to see us. Returning at 7am got us a bed and quick CT scan for the orthopaedic team to review. We were hoping...

AS 350B2 ZK-HOP lining up for the apron outside its hangar at Ardmore in 2014. This is next to the corner of Corsair Lane which is the best spotting location when the 03 runways are in use - hard to beat overhead traffic 230 metres from the threshold of the grass runway.

Ha, just worked around an issue with TVNZ+. Tried to watch #brokenwoodmysteries S12E01, but S12 not showing up in the app - it was in &#39;Arriving Soon&#39; earlier. Tried going to the Live part, but couldn&#39;t rewind there. Tried restarting app to get S12 to show, no good. Last try, go to end of S11, Play Next is there, and flips to S12E01, yay!
