Plumbing the depths

As spring has so patently sprung it is hard to write about serious subjects. So I won’t; I’ll write about Hamilton. One cannot read Hamilton’s Facebook page without falling into the full scathing scarring morass of deprivation. We in Auckland just can’t hack it with Hamiltonians when it comes to excitement. Look at what our southern neighbours are occupying themselves with this week:

• Wie Waikato Free Children Chinese (Pin Yin) Course http://www.facebook.com/ChineseClass Waikato Chinese School (WCS) will provide a perfect opportunity for children to study free Chinese
• Lainie Poon Hamilton Club Pro Shop - we are a NZRA TOP SHOP FINALIST for the Waikato!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!
• Rebecca Boulton Hoffman We are a finalist too - Bakers Delight Hamilton East Yay, yay. Woo Hoo!!!
• Sustainability divide emerges in wake of recession: University of Waikato

The economic downturn has created a growing sustainability divide, separating New Zealand businesses which “get” sustainability from those which see it as “nice to do”. That’s the key finding from a new survey by researchers at the University of Waikato Management School.

• Mediarts Wintec Puppetry exhibition 'Strings Attached' opens on Tues 7th 5.30pm at Ramp Gallery, Collingwood St - all welcome.
• Plumber sets sights on teaching: University of Waikato
www.waikato.ac.nz It may seem like a radical change of professions to some, but James Thomlinson says training to become a primary school teacher after five years as a plumber feels like a natural progression.
• Hamilton NZ feels like wrapping up with a nice fresh scone. Suggestions as to where to find the best scones in Hamilton...?

It was not Fryday’s intent when composing this to make you miserable. Of course not. But now that you are, because you don’t live in Hamilton, I can hope only you can make the best of your Auckland or elsewhere weekend…anyway.
