Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, Shalom, JazakAllahu khair and peace be with you all
To all the Neighbourlyhood and beyond, may the season bless you with all you need and some of what you want. May you always shine your inner light upon those who live in darkness and may your love be ever greater the the hate you may face.
I am not religious, but I am faithful. I believe we all are connected and without each and every one of us there is a piece missing. If you feel a piece missing, reach out. Make a call, send a letter, an email, a card or even a kind thought. You never know who you might reach and what piece you may bring in, or what peace you may send out.
Not just for one time a year, but all year and all time and not just for those who believe as you, but for all.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
