As we've been walking/driving around our neighbourhood there are a number of citrus ( oranges, lemons & grapefruit) laden trees shedding all over the ground. This of course occurs every year but we're mainly home at the moment. How about if you have a tree , especially the oranges, you could pick and either bag them "free fruit help yourself" outside your front fence or maybe contact a local food bank to drop them off at their base. Perhaps if your neighbour has a tree you could ask if you could carefully pick and bag them etc for those who would welcome them. As we know some people are doing it hard and it just seems a terrible shame to watch the fruit rot on the ground.
Stay safe

I hope you are all managing to keep safe and healthy during these stressing and difficult times.
During the last few weeks I have managed to get myself Isolated for fourteen days due to being a close contact from the Dress Smart place of interest on the 16th of last month, that was fun. NOT! However I have been back on the beat working with my Onehunga Policing team attending Covid19 related incidents reported to police.
Unfortunately, those involved in criminal activity are continuing as predicted, so please continue to be vigilant and look out for anything of concern. The 111 emergency phone number is the best number to call to notify police of all emergencies including all Covid related concerns.
Also, an update on mail theft.
Police have recently identified individuals involved in high volume mail theft from the Ellerslie and Onehunga areas. Further information will follow once the investigation has concluded.
Keep safe and be vigilant
Kind regards
Don

Hi Neighbours, Can you recommend an early seed potato to plant as soon as I can get to the garden centre after lockdown. Not the red skin variety please. I know there are lots of varieties but I'm keen to plant variety/s that you've grown yourself here in Auckland. Thank you :-)

I did this last year and it works a treat. Cut off the ear loops from your surgical mask, stick fashion tape (from Spotlight or haberdashery stores) along the two outer edges of your mask and stick it to your cheeks so the ear loops aren't in the way of scissors, hair colour and washing. Double sided tape may work, but might not stick long enough.
