They put a piano
on High Street
and...
... musicians Kate Marshall and Bob Cooper-Grundy
played there – a group danced on the footpath while
their pianist took requests – a man brought his sheet
music along and Michael, David and Matt Chapman
fund-raised for the Scout Jamboree camp, playing
trumpet, piano and percussion.
According to Trisha Findlay of Heart of Arts, who
provided photographic evidence, there have been
many others making music on Carterton’s High Street
piano lately.
If you didn’t manage to find Bob and Kate playing
the High Street piano, you can catch up with them at

The idea of finding a piano to paint and put on the street came from Go Carterton.

Medical Centre.
As I had no memory of being consulted about this rather drastic
change to the original idea of accident compensation, I wrote to the
Minister about my experience. His office led me to ACC, which led
me to the District Nursing service. This modest organisation, hidden
away in a back street in Greytown, is staffed by empathetic and expert
nurses. As a result of their eight weeks of amazing ACC-funded care,
my shin, which was swollen, bruised and bloody with deep gashes
where a pedal sank in, now looks pretty much like my other shin with
just a couple of extra scars.
If you live in Carterton, have a look at the fees board at the
Medical Centre next time you visit. Then, if you feel inclined, write
to the Minister of Health about the way way those of us who fall off
our bikes, and are not referred to the District Nurses, are generously
subsidising the whole community’s medical care and ask him why.

We had been warned by those reliable folk at the Met Service to expect rain this morning, so we came prepared with brollies and the gazebo. This proved to be an effective deterrent and it stayed dry.

Heritage Rail Trip, Episode two Saturday morning, February 23, found us up early at our friend’s home in Palmerston North. We decided to overnight there, eliminating the need for an early morning sprint from the Wairarapa to catch RM31 for its scheduled departure at 7.15 am. We booked a taxi for 6.45 am so there was a flurry of activity to repack our travel bags and grab some breakfast. The taxi arrived 15 minutes early, a good sign we thought, as we loaded our bags and said goodbye to our friend. Arriving on the platform at Palmerston North Railway Station earlier than planned we were surprised to find a chilly breeze much like a wind tunnel whistling along the platform. Already four passengers were sheltering but no warm railcar waiting for us to board. Little did we know we would not see RM31 for nearly an hour. As the minutes slowly ticked by more passengers began arriving, there was an air of anticipation building on the platform as groups began chatting about the trip north and others reminiscing about past trips they had been on. I spotted a person in the upper level of the station building and watched as he made his way along. Eventually he appeared downstairs, making his way outside he went to a door and unlocked it. The level of noise dropped appreciably as it became obvious he had just unlocked the toilet block. About then we heard a toot and saw a faint yellowish light on the line to the north of the station. Our vintage railcar was on its way to collect us at last. Once the doors were open there was literally a blur as the guards ushered people aboard and stowed baggage. At long last we were on our way.
