To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.”
Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
Two is also pronounced the same as to and too, but it can’t be used instead of either of them because it’s a number.

To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to come together to share ways to boost mental health and well-being. For example, you could host an online catch up or quiz, call a neighbour who lives alone, challenge your family and friends to try a new hobby or move your body more to improve your own well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for free support from a trained counsellor.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re looking out for your well-being and helping others with theirs this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

CERT NZ spokesperson Nadia Yousef said with more people working from home due to the global pandemic there are higher risks.
“We know cyber attackers are opportunistic and are just waiting for people to let their guard down,” she said.
“While we are optimistic that Kiwi businesses have heard the cyber security message, the last thing online businesses or people working and learning from home need right now is to suffer a cyber security attack and have to cope with the huge disruptions that follow.”
Yousef said cyber attacks can result in loss of personal information and records, income, assets, productivity or customer trust and goodwill.
“Backing up your information and records, having strong passwords that aren’t used on multiple accounts, making sure apps and devices have got the latest updates installed, and making sure two-factor authentication is used wherever possible are critical habits to get into,’ she said.
“Businesses and organisations should make sure their remote access systems are as secure as they can be and pay very careful attention to emails requesting payment or personal information, particularly invoices.”
CERT NZ‘s website contains cyber security tips for businesses and individuals.
Kiwis can report incidents online or call 0800 CERT NZ, Monday to Friday, 7am – 7pm.

Our thanks go to Gill and Gundry who will be trucking in metal and clay from a big project at Takapuna Grammar School.
Three big old willows will be removed early to make way for the track and replaced with new trees.
With generous support from Devonport Timber, the start jump structure will be constructed as one of the first parts of the track. The plan is to build a short section of the track early so it can be used while the remainder of the track is being completed.
Financial help will be needed from the community and a Givealittle page will be set up. We know the interested families will be generous so that we can get our youth into the park and away from their PB’s.
Thanks to all who have been so much in support of the project to date. Watch this space!”

Well Aucklanders are being asked to share their food stories and nominate the region’s best dishes.
The Iconic Eats Auckland list launched last year with nominations ranging from dishes found at fine dining establishments to cafes, food trucks, markets and hole-in-the-wall offerings.
Winners ranged from traditional dishes to those representing the ethnic diversity of the region.
Auckland Unlimited spokesperson Annie Dundas said Iconic Eats is the “ultimate culinary bucket list” of dishes that can only be enjoyed in Auckland.
“What makes this list unique is the amazing stories submitted with each dish that showcases the diversity of Auckland’s food scene – the talented people, the places, the cultures, the experiences, the flavours,” she said.
One person who submits a story will be declared the winner of Iconic Auckland Eats 2021 and enjoy vouchers for all 100 winning eats.
Nominations are now open and stories can be submitted at www.iconiceats.co.nz... up to 31 August 2021.

We're looking for lockdown gardening ideas! With New Zealanders stuck at home everyone is keen to get into their gardens, but they can't get to the shops to buy plants and seeds. So we want to hear from you some suggestions for crops you can start or sow from what you have on hand or useful gardening hacks using just what you have at home already without going to the shops.
It doesn't have to be a big idea - just something like growing spring onions from the base or sprouting avocado seeds to make a houseplant. Send your tips and ideas to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz and we'll publish the best ideas in NZ Gardener.
Make sure you include your full name and address - only your name and the region you live in will be published but if we use your tip we will send you a free copy of the magazine.

I cant dump beauty so under the houses pieces went, the intention would be to do up one day/ retirement !!!! This lock down is not as good as the last... so I've been under the house and am at present repairing 2 dressers, a captains chair, 2 oak chairs and an oak table. I encourage others to do the same as it does keep you busy and we have a little time at present. All the best everyone...
Dear neighbours,
Here's our list of the best new-release varieties of edible plants to grow this season.
