It has been a quiet weekend here – mostly because I never did anything!
I found this 2006 photo of Mama Sheep and her Triplets and thought it perfectly summed up the atmosphere of spring.
There was more rugby viewing over the weekend, including watching Tasman steal the Ranfurly Shield off Hawkes Bay in a very exciting game.
For the first time in 27 years, a new bridge has opened in the city across the Waikato River. It has been built to service a new large subdivision as well as deflect some of the through traffic off city roads.
The Council had this to say about the bridge: A span of 95-110m over the Waikato River / consists of four lanes (including two transit lanes) and separate pedestrian and bike paths / the bridge has no piers, with only a single Y-shaped pillar supporting a flat bridge deck / lighting and structural features to minimise any impact on the local population of native long-tailed bats.
The bridge has been under construction now for a couple of years and opened to public traffic last week. It is going to make our access to several parts of the city much easier.
Have a great day everyone.
