Just to let everyone know that if you have elderly relative in Heritage resthome and hospital, Rosebank Rd Avondale
You should urgently ensure they have no valuables or jewellery in their possession.
On recent visit there I was shocked to discover my 93 year mother’s wedding ring was removed from her finger and she had a significant cut to her lip and bruise on her leg.
We had not previously removed the ring as it was very tight on her finger and we were afraid of causing injury.
She was incapable of removing the ring herself.
There has been no explanation for the injuries.
This has been reported to the resthome and to the police.

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.

For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!

Are you wanting to get more active?

How about joining me in a walking/running challenge? The idea is that you challenge yourself to walk(or run) 150km's for the whole month. You track your distance using any walking/running apps on your phone/fitbit or use google maps to workout how far you walk each day. Keep a record and try to reach a total of 150km's by the end of the month.

If I get enough interest, I will start a facebook group for the month of Feb (and possibly future months if I get enough interest) and create a community of fellow ladies wanting to get their bodies moving and feel happier and healthier along the way. The group will be motivation and support throughout the month and you can share your progress as we go along.

Any fitness level is acceptable! We all have to start from somewhere and it is totally at your own pace.

If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, pop your email below and if there are a few of us interested, I will start the facebook group.
