We have just returned from our friend's home. He is an elderly gentleman.
He is very proud of his garden and boy oh boy he has stunning roses and fruit trees. So much work and time goes into this glorious garden.
His generosity is well known to those who know him and also strangers he meets along the way.
People knock on his door all the time and ask for some fruit or of they could have a rose off his bushes. He will always give them generally what they have asked for and maybe an extra item or two.
To say that he will share the shirt off his back is an understatement, he will share what he has in the garden to anyone who asks.
Well imagine, if you can, his shock and anger to wake up to a noise he heard outside (late afternoon) and to find 2 women - 1 daughter and her elderly mother with a large bucket in hand, stripping his fruit trees.
Their large bucket was 3/4 full.
When confronted, the women pleaded ignorance, couldn't speak English (so they said) and then proceeded to tell him, "Well, everyone does it and why can't they?"
Our friend almost busted a gut at this response regarding them stealing fruit off his trees, on his section.
He told them to take a long walk off a short pier (not these words by a long shot).
They shrugged their shoulders and carried on picking and this is where he lost his cool.
He shouted at them to leave or the Police will be called.
They walked off his section and down the road, so they live locally.
It makes you wonder if this is the first time they have done this?
I think not.
My gripe is PLEASE DO NOT HELP YOURSELF TO ANYONE ELE'S FRUIT IF IT'S ON THEIR SECTION - IT'S THEFT!!
If it's hanging over the fence, well that's borderline, but the tree is still the property of the owner.
So PLEASE, take a moment, knock on the door and just ask.
Chances are you will get more than what you asked for, maybe a new friend in the end.
Stealing off someone who is struggling, is DISGUSTING!
I can only hope that the karma bus is on it's way to these 2 despicable women.
You both should be ashamed of yourselves for stealing off an old man - ASHAMED!!!

I lost my job due to covid so I've started recycling old furniture at home. It's a labour of love and works best if the piece is interesting and has good bones. Solid timber only.
Please let me know if you have anything, taking up space that you think I could breath new life into.
I've attached an example of what I do.
Thank you in advance.

Loneliness is a growing issue for Kiwis of all ages. But the good news is, that it is solvable!

The NZ Coalition to End Loneliness is running a ‘Light up loneliness’ campaign this month to raise awareness and encourage action on loneliness across Aotearoa.
The New Zealand Coalition to End Loneliness is a growing group of non-profit organisations, businesses and researchers working together to end loneliness for individuals, in communities, and at workplaces in New Zealand.
They are now calling on Local Government to help them “Light up loneliness”.
“Imagine if every Mayor and Council across New Zealand helped promote the “Lets End Loneliness” website and made tackling loneliness a priority, using their own local community resources,” says Stephanie Clare, Age Concern New Zealand Chief Executive.
“It would be a gamechanger. Taking this issue out of the shadows, reducing the stigma and shame, and giving it light is the aim of the campaign” she says.
Social connection is a key factor for healthy, prosperous people, communities, and workplaces, but loneliness in New Zealand is increasing. In the March 2021 quarter 18.4% of New Zealanders felt lonely most, all or some of the time, up from 16.6% in 2018, and 13.9% in 2014.
“Many of us have experienced loneliness at some time in our lives and we know that feels horrible, but it can be addressed and solved. Together we can end loneliness for New Zealanders who feel isolated” says Sam Johnson, Founder and Chief Executive of Student Volunteer Army.
The letsendloneliness.co.nz website provides information on tackling loneliness and where to get help, as well as up-to-date news and research.
“The website is designed as a source of information which also links people to support services. We challenge every Local Council in New Zealand to create a link on their own websites to letsendloneliness.co.nz” says Sam Johnson.
The recent COVID-19 lockdown highlights that everyone can feel isolated and lonely. Catherine Hall, Chief Executive of Alzheimers New Zealand believes everyone should feel safe, supported, loved, and connected.
“Sadly, people often find family, whānau and friends take a step back just when they need them most. We stand alongside our coalition partners and with all New Zealanders, to make sure no one feels alone.”
Help light up loneliness! The campaign is not just for councils. Anyone can create a link to the letsendloneliness.co.nz or post a mention through social media channels to support the ‘Light up loneliness’ campaign.
Together we can end loneliness, one person, one community, one workplace at a time.
