Fireworks, birds, runners, lights

Phew. What is it about short weeks? They sound great in theory but it seems that you're trying to fit five days work into four days. Never mind because it's almost the weekend again.

On Saturday 27 October...
A professional fireworks display by Shogun Quality Fireworks will be held at Kumeu Showgrounds with all funds going towards Taupaki School. More details here.
Puhoi Sports Club fireworks spectacular. More details here.

If fireworks aren't your thing, maybe you'd be interested in a special birdwatching opportunity. On Sunday 28 October explore the Papakanui Spit and Waionui Lagoon area with the Kaipara Forest and Bird team. In spring the migratory waders are returning on their 11,000+ kilometre direct flight from the tundra of Alaska and Siberia where they breed. More details on their website.

Or maybe you're one of hundreds of dedicated walkers and runners who will be wandering across the Harbour Bridge in the Adidas Auckland marathon event. The Herald has a list of prime viewing spots. Good luck!

When you've finished racing you can pop over to Britomart for "Diwali - Festival of lights". This event celebrates the traditions of Diwali, and is also a celebration of Indian culture with scrumptious food, non-stop free family entertainment, Bollywood dancing, traditional crafts, and much more.

There's so much on I think I'll need a four day weekend! Have a good one.
