Wellington Chinese HistoryA rich Chinese heritage is recognised and celebrated in Whau, Auckland, with a local park now carrying the name of its last private owner, Avondale Market gardener Lowe Nam.
Whau Local Board chair Kay Thomas says the decision reflects pride in the area’s diverse history.
“Chinese New Zealanders are an integral part of our story, and we are proud to honour their heritage as part of our vibrant, multicultural community.”
@xurizaemon I'm in Palmerston nth for an inaugural tenant union hui, and sorry to say, there's only about 10 advocate NGOs looking to leverage their lobby clout by amalgamating. No grass roots movement at all.
People are apathetic, busy earning money, short of attention... without sustainable membership and organisation I think these initiatives fade away or become empty vessels.
If the tech union is salvageable I think that you'd be a good rep.
@xurizaemon Time to get the garlic in the ground!
@xurizaemon yay! Maybe a walk would be nice if sunny?
@xurizaemon Good on yous being responsible, and hope she's better soon!
@xurizaemon too pretty for the compost! Mulching pot plants etc :)
@xurizaemon today I finished air conditioning setup in workshop! (Now heat exchange air comes from air outside, instead of cannibalising room air). May sound like a luxury, but it is crucial for dust management, ie pushing clean air towards face level. And with hardly any insulation, and one wall literally hanging from the roof, it's ready just in time for winter! Separate dust extraction removes most chips and fine sawdust. Next conundrum :where to hang chisels?
@xurizaemon check out french cleats. They are so handy, and modular, easy to reconfigure at whim. I wish I had room for a french cleat rack!
@xurizaemon wow, they look amazing!
