Hi Ho, To the Supermarket We Go!

Andrea from Eden Terrace

I have never seen my parents
Really quite so excited
Pouring over shopping lists
And looking so delighted

Mum putting on her dress
and kicking up her heels
Dad putting on his game face
To get the food to cook the meals

A little like a game of roulette
I wish them well on their caper
As most stores are out of stock
Of necessities like loo paper

Looking like a surgeon
They face off with their masks
Prepared to ward off the virus
They wait in line, 2 metres apart

And then like a bull to a flag
The store allows them in
And quickly they disappear
Down aisle’s and out again

Never did I think the mundane
Could bring such delight
And when the Alert is over
We deserve a SHOUTOUT for doing what was right

Be Safe
Be Kind

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
