Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first that both Aunty Tan & Rejean are finally here in New Zealand, then Whanganui 2 days later at last, for the first time since January 24th, 2024 in which they left New Zealand shores to go to Vanuatu, then they headed back home to Canada until December 8th when they arrived in New Zealand in which they have been to New Plymouth to stay at Nigel Christie's place, just 2 days before they headed to Whanganui where our whanau had dinner at St John's Club Elms Restaurant where I had a pasta, then a day later, I was having pork chops with a homemade coleslaw & fried rice with Aunty Tan & Rejean, then Kathryn had just arrived 1 day later at the airport to drop her off at our place to stay for 2 nights, then we went to Thai Villa for a great family dinner where I had a Pad Thai since both Rutland Arms & Caroline's Boatshed were fully booked, & the reason why? Is because of the restaurant goers want to do it before Christmas.
And secondly that the newly crowned Formula One world champion Lando Norris who announced that he'll be running car number 1 next season (The first to do so since Jenson Button back in 2010 when he moved to McLaren after his successful title winning efforts with Brawn GP also back in 2009 (In which they had a kind of fairytale, Cinderella story type of season a year after the Honda Racing F1 Team had closed down due to the global financial economic crisis that they once had in 2008-09 along with A1GP, & both Subaru & Suzuki World Rally teams had pulled out before the WRC season had started) who became Mercedes-AMG since 2010) as he followed the footsteps of the new Supercars Champion Chaz Mostert (The one who ended Broc Feeney's chances of a maiden title in Adelaide during the Supercars Championship finals, then Lando pulled off a Mostert inspired performance during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that he finally deserved to be the new world champion) who'll be driving a Toyota Supra GR in next year's Supercars Championship season, & others including Will Brown, Brodie Kostecki, Simon Pagenaud, Josef Newgarden, Jamie Whincup, Thierry Neuville, Sebastian Vettel, & Max Verstappen (Who'll change his car number from 33 originally, to 3 which is his old Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo's racing number that he once used since Max who would narrowly fall short of 2 points behind the eventual world champion of Norris last season).
And thirdly in the gaming department that the reason why I want to buy both the digital version of both Need for Speed: Heat, & Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit remastered on the PS4, is that I own both physical copies of the game on the PS4 even though with NFS Heat being cheap due to a discount compared to NFS HP remastered being expensive as a result of the pricing system that they're having.
And finally that the Black Caps go 1 - 0 up in the series following a 9 wicket win over the West Indies at the Cello Basin Reserve in Wellington with 1 test to go (The standout performer of that game went to Jacob Duffy who picked up a fifer in the 2nd innings (And I mean, what a player, what a performance from him (But the 2nd test was blighted or dogged I should say with Blair Tickner picking up an injury whilst attempting to field near the boundary meaning that he's ruled out on the tour to India, along with Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Will O'Rourke, Matt Fisher, Ben Sears, Nathan Smith, Muhammad Abbas, & Matt Henry that are part of the casualty ward) as I managed to watch the recorded programme on TV after seeing the result on the sports news section of the Whanganui Chronicle newspaper article on the morning of December 13th last year.
So that is my 663rd blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 15th of this year, viva Ukraine.
