Solid effort that. Richoux took out gold for Mince. Another sampler via son living in Auckland. He has about 4 or 5 bakeries within easy biking distance so will sample them all and report.

Malaysian scallop and prawn laksa pie. Came 2nd in New Zealand for the gourmet pie category. Thanks to roving reporter Harris for puchasing (I flicked him the money so he could buy it) and sampling the goods. “Phenomenal Pie” was his feedback. #pieawards #kai

Prawn Laksa and Scallop Pie.
2nd best in NZ for Gourmet Meat.

The unrelenting sun. ☀️ I can see that I will be spending a fair amount of time on a brush over the next year or so. Permanently painting perhaps? Fade on outside. Fresh coat under window. Time to buy a 10 litre pail. 🪣

I painted a couple of panels.

'You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear' #CLuxon

Former Newstalk ZB and TV3 broadcaster Rachel Smalley has been hired to help National’s Auckland-based Government MPs, including Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, with their communications and media work.

She appears set to play a critical role in working with the Prime Minister on his sometimes wobbly live media appearances, highlighted in the past week by a fumbling response to a question from Tova O’Brien on TVNZ’s Breakfast show.

Smalley is an experienced journalist, broadcaster and strategic communications consultant, and is known to be widely respected at the highest levels of Government, especially on the Beehive’s 9th floor.

The arrival of John Campbell at the RNZ Morning Report microphone next week ramps up the scrutiny of Luxon’s Monday morning media interviews on TVNZ, Newstalk ZB and RNZ.

Luxon is normally in Auckland for the interviews: at TVNZ between 7am and 7.30am, before heading across the road to Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB just after 7.30am, and then RNZ – normally over the phone – before 8am.

Smalley has particular expertise and knowledge of live TV and radio interviews - a quick scan of her CV shows she has worked with Hosking (at ZB), with O’Brien (at Today FM) and with Campbell (at TV3) and is likely to provide useful insights into each broadcaster’s approach, as well as more general communications advice and guidance.

The former foreign correspondent’s experience of Middle East issues will also be handy in a period of global instability.

One of my kid’s got a very nice scholarship last year. Down to Vic Uni to attend the book launch on Tuesday. It was pretty cool. Really glad they survived FEILDING to be able to flourish in WELLINGTON. “Divine Acts”
