Local news

I saw a friend, Christchurch City Councillor, Yani Johanson post this you tube clip on facebook. It reminded me of local news and it made my chuckle a bit.

I love it how parking rates rising can make news, from $2.60 - $2.90. I love the fresh-faced youthful newsreaders, who're both probably studying on the journalism course that I completed in 2006 - or they've just finished.

Good work Yani, I thought you were well-spoken and fluent in your media presence. Go Christchurch and local TV!

Peculiar pianos

Peculiarly placed pianos are popping up around London. I've spotted two of them; one in Soho Square the other on Liverpool Street outside Liverpool Station. It's a great idea. People seem to assemble around the piano and have turns at playing for each other. It's a nice way for people to connect with each other, share their creativity and be expressive. There seem to be a lot of talented, musical people about.
