The Power of Positivity

 
 
 
 
 
Some Spoonerisms to Enjoy by David Gledhill 
Professor:    You have hissed all my mystery lectures
He is as mean as custard
I spent this morning chewing the doors
I am using my praiser linter
I have difficulty welling spurds
I need to no my blows
I won't go out as its roaring with pain.
My new car goes at the lead of spite
I am looking forward to my brunday sunch.

What our Members do in their "Spare" Time

Christine Meredith
Christine is a member of Rotary, Inner Wheel, Probus and many other groups.  So what do I do in my spare time since retirement?  I make quilts for the Hutt Prem Baby Unit at Hutt Hospital in sizes from cushion cover up to 1 metre square.  I also knit for the babies.
However, I want to tell you another story of my evenings at home and sometimes daytime.  I mainly knit for others.  Along with a group from Inner Wheel we knit beanies, slippers and sometimes mittens for 2 lower- socio economic primary schools in the Hutt Valley; baby clothes and knitted or woven blankets for Pregnancy Help.
 
These beanies and slippers were made by the Innerwheel and associates knitting group. Ready to be donated to Taita primary school. Some are my knitted items too.
