2022

Here we go again!

1. What did you do in 2022 that you’d never done before?

Paddle the Whanganui River, finish a degree, get Covid, keep plants alive for over a year, knit a sock, hire an employee.

2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

Nah, still don’t really do those.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

Yep. One close friend, and one other friend, as well as several acquaintances. Living that early 30s life...

4. Did anyone close to you die?

Nobody close, but several friends lost parents this year.

5. What countries did you visit?

Just around NZ. Hopefully next year, now that the borders are open again!

6. What would you like to have in 2023 that you lacked in 2022?

I’m hoping by the end of the year to have a place of my own. Maybe even one where I’m paying my own mortgage, rather than someone else’s?

7. What dates from 2022 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

Whanganui River, Pukawa trip, Vanessa and Alister’s wedding, Milford Trip, Caitlin’s visit, Rakuira trip, Wellyfest, probably other stuff. Basically all the lovely travel away with friends.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Finishing a degree in Youth Development, definitely! With straight A+s to boot.

9. What was your biggest failure?

I don’t think I had any super major ones this year, which is really nice. Probably some work stuff around people management and communications of responsibilities.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

Got Covid after the Milford trip. It was highly shit and I was down for two weeks, and still recovering for a further three months. 0/10, would not recommend.

11. What was the best thing you bought?

Travel and rips away with friends. A new tramping pack. Some lovely artwork.

12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?

I don’t know. I always find this question really hard. Most people deserve to be celebrated?

13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?

I also always find this one hard. A few of our ex-volunteers, Putin, and the general awful that is alt-right assholes.

14. Where did most of your money go?

Food, rent, travel, and the dentist.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

Caitlin visiting. Also travel stuff, friends’ wedding, Jenny Mitchell concerts, and Vanessa starting at work

16. What song will always remind you of 2022?

I’m really not sure this year. Maybe Tug of War, by Jenny Mitchell

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:

a) happier or sadder? Happier

b) thinner or fatter? Oh, definitely fatter

c) richer or poorer? Richer

18. What do you wish you’d done more of?

Going for walks outside, reaching out to friends

19. What do you wish you’d done less of?

Buying takeaways

20. How did you spend Christmas?

The usual combination of family and family friends. Lunch at family friends’ place, then an assortment of people over for dinner at my parents’ place.

21. Did you fall in love in 2022?

Nah

22. How many one-night stands?

Technically none, but maybe kind of one.

23. What was your favourite TV program?

Buffy. Binge watched it all for the first time, and can’t believe it took me so long!

24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?

Not really. I don’t really do hating people, and those that would otherwise fall into the category aren’t worth my brain space.

25. What was the best book you read?

Bonk - the curious coupling of sex and science, by Mary Roach

26. What was your greatest musical discovery?

I feel like I’ve done a lot of listening to new albums from artists I already know and like this year. Maddie Poppe?

27. What did you want and get?

A degree, a bit more free time, several good adventures.

28. What did you want and not get?

Jeans that fit right

29. What was your favourite film of this year?

I haven’t really watched many movies once again. Onward?

30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

Turned 31. Went to work and had dinner with my family.

31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

Sorting out my stuff enough to be a bit further along the house buying journey? I think overall it’s been a pretty solid year for the most part, though.

32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2022?

Jeans, leggings, t-shirts, and a fair bit of plaid. Comfortable and clean clothes are still my go-to here, and really doesn’t change on a year-to-year basis.

33. What kept you sane?

Music, podcasts, friends, colleagues, monthly supervision sessions, naps.

34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?

I don’t think I can even name someone for this one...

35. What political issue stirred you the most?

Probably the war in Ukraine.

36. Who did you miss?

Caitlin remains top of the list. Ireland is very far away.

37. Who was the best new person you met?

Marlene and Udit, I think

38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2022:

Trusting others’ assumptions about the priority level of different projects is not the same as confirming them with the whole team, and it’s really a lot better to be sure of this sooner, rather than at the last minute.

39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

“It’s just the way that it goes // sometimes the world feels awful slow // and it’s just the way that it is // we all go fishing, ‘til we’re sick of fish // and it don’t make no sense // we all dream of the green over that fence // but it comforts me to know // that it’s just the way it goes.” - Lucy, Jenny Mitchell

40. How did you spend New Year’s Eve?

Board games, pot luck, spa, and friends down the road at my parents’ place.

First Church of Christ, Scientist Sunday School Hall

This is the site of Whanganui’s only Christian Science Church. According to Christian Science NZ’s website - Christian Science is “a Christian denomination and a world-wide movement. It is defined by its discoverer and founder, Mary Baker Eddy, as “the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony.” Whanganui’s First Church of Christ Sunday School  was completed in 1943. Over the last 79 years, the Sunday School has been open for young people under 20 to attend while their families are at the 10:30am service. The church itself has been at this site since 1929 when it converted an Edwardian dentist clinic which remains the main church to this day, though it is heavily altered. From the street, it is not apparent that the main church dates from 1903.

Stylistically, it would be a stretch to call the hall a Brutalist building. Its use of materials and features arguably anticipates Brutalism, however. It is a reinforced concrete building with a super six asbestos roof and a beautiful courtyard garden. The stark rawness of the concrete has been covered white paint. Could this be an attempt to add greater 'aesthetic value’? Note the contrast of the unpainted concrete wall - a significant, intriguing and inherently brutalist feature. There are hints of eco-Brutalism, a concept which plays on a sense of juxtaposition between ‘divergent concepts’. In this case it is the contrast of the imposing building and the nature that surrounds it. While not eco-Brutalist in the traditional sense it is still an interesting observation.

The First Church of Christ has 13 different locations across Aotearoa including but not limited to: Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington. The quirky Wellington church designed by renowned architect Ian Athfield may be familiar to some. It has recently been announced that the church is to be demolished. It is not protected by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga or any other heritage organisations. It is postmodernist and is largely concrete and ceramic. There are similar style discussions to be had surrounding this building and the modernist and Brutalist styles we see in Whanganui. This leads to broader discussions surrounding the loss of heritage and effects or urbanisation of unprotected heritage buildings that are of great significance. In the context of Whanganui, the Art Deco, Victorian and Modernist architecture seems to harvest greater appreciation. I want you to think about how you determine value. Why is one style more ‘valuable’ than another? Just some food for thought!

DIGITAL PANORAMIC X-RAYS

The greatest benefit of all is that digital X rays are very safe and exposes patients to up to 90% less radiation.   And because digital x-rays exist only as a digital file, they can be stored on a computer instead of an elaborate filing system. It makes it very easy for us  to store and retrieve the images if and when the need arises.

We also use Digital  Panoramic radiography, it is a 2D  X ray Image that captures the mouth and surrounding structures in a single image. A Panoramic Xray shows a broadview of the jaws, teeth, sinuses, nasal areas and TMjoint. They are mainly used in planning for wisdom teeth removal,  multiple teeth removal,bone abnormalities, cysts, infections, abscesses and jaw fractures.

PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY

Part of leading a healthy lifestyle includes having good oral health. A low sugar and acid diet with routine home care and regular check ups with your friendly dental team can bring you a step closer.

Whether you are a new patient looking for a Dentist or one of our existing patients,  regular check ups and hygiene visits means that problems that you may or may not know about can be caught early before they cause further damage.

INTRA ORAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Intra Oral Cameras are used to show our patients the interior of their mouth, as an alternative to using a mirror. This allows our patient's to see a clear picture of the inside of their mouth, aiding us, dentists in consulting with our patients on various treatment options. Images can be saved to a patient's file for future reference. In more complex cases we  may use DSLR cameras for diagnosing/ communicating and treatment planning. Intra Oral camera/ Photography also gives us an opportunity to show our patients the before and after pictures once the work has been finished.

CEREC "ONE VISIT" CROWNS

If you have heavily filled teeth with large amalgam fillings, or large resin fillings, those teeth are at risk of stress fracturing and breaking down.  Often the side of the tooth, or a cusp will fracture.Causing pain, needing root canal treatment and some times could well end up being an extraction. These teeth need restoring in such a way that they will be strengthened for longevity. Traditionally, full crowns with gold or porcelain fused to metal have been used for this.

The crowns usually take two weeks to be made, and require you to have sensitive temporary crowns, which often allow bacterial leakage during this time.

Experience the Future of Dentistry!

where Metal free Ceramic Crowns are designed and  Manufactured right infront of you in approximately 90 minutes!

Unlike the traditional Pain staking methods, We use a  3D scanning system that captures the images of your teeth that are prepared according to the situation   and aids us in Designing Full crowns, Partial Crowns ( onlay/ Inlay) and some implant retained Crowns. These designed Crowns are Milled ( Manufactured) using a milling unit in less than 20 minutes time, although certain types of ceramics may take a little longer in the making!

The end Result?  Unimaginable levels of accuracy, Flawless fit, and a Perfect bite in addition to Unmatched Esthetics! More Information can be obtained from wwwcereconline.com
