I just wanted to see if I could find the owner of a big beautiful fluffy black and white cat that has just been ran over here in Glendene at the bottom of Hepburn Rd. Unfortunately the poor cat has passed, I have an image if anyone suspects it is theirs and can send to them privately. We’ve wrapped him/her up in a blanket and have them safely at our home so they don’t get ran over again. My condolences❤️

We're all working from home during this lockdown, not just to bring you your favourite gardening mag, but also our Garden Diary 2022! This is where we need your help: Show us how you've been using your 2021 Diary -- take photos of the pages, tell us what was most useful, did you have enough space to write your notes, what have you scribbled on the pages? Did you clip your plant labels on them? Perhaps shoot a little video with your phone as you turn the pages. Your feedback will help us put together next year's diary.
Please email your comments and photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by this Friday, Aug 27. The five most helpful readers will each receive a free copy of the 2022 diary.

What is Meditation?
Meditation is the delicate art of doing nothing and letting go of all the efforts to relax into your true nature which is love, joy and peace.
Meditation is that which gives you deep rest.
The rest in meditation is deeper than the deepest sleep that you can ever have. When the mind becomes free from agitation, is calm and serene and at peace, meditation happens. The benefits of meditation are manifold. It is an essential practice for mental hygiene. A calm mind, good concentration, clarity of perception, improvement in communication, blossoming of skills and talents, an unshakable inner strength, healing, the ability to connect to an inner source of energy, relaxation, rejuvenation, and good luck are all natural results of meditating regularly. In today's world where stress catches on faster than the eye can see or the mind can perceive, meditation is no more a luxury. It is a necessity. To be unconditionally happy and to have peace of mind, we need to tap into the power of meditation.

Businesses already needed to display codes at all alert levels. We are making it mandatory at the sorts of places where people gather consistently and in large numbers to ensure that people scan or sign in," Hipkins said. "This means those responsible for businesses and events will need to ensure people keep a record when they visit, either by scanning QR codes with the Covid-19 Tracer App or making a manual record." At the start of this month, scanning had slumped to its lowest level before Wellington's Covid scare. Only 498,723 scans were recorded on the Covid Tracer app which was the lowest number of scans on the app since June 22. There were 21 new Covid-19 community cases in New Zealand today, bringing this outbreak's total to 72.

Here we go again. Hope you are looking after those in your bubble and keeping safe.
If you need a bit of distraction from the confines of lockdown, this could be the perfect time to keep learning through what can be pretty tough times.
Right now many will be tuning in online, so why not brush up on skills to learn how to make an impact with your business digitally.
First impressions count. In fact, they say you only have 3 seconds to make a good one. So, slick images are crucial.
Flipping the perfect patty is quite a skill, so too is producing snappy images - local business Burger Burger can do both with ease. They’ve done away with traditional advertising and instead engaged its customers with vibrant and interactive content.
