I was privileged to witness a touching moment today and thought I would share it.
There we were sitting in a big line up of 4pm traffic on Oteha Valley Road when suddenly a few cars ahead a young man launched himself out of the stationary car and started running between cars eventually scooping up a tiny duckling.
He then very gently held it and raced to the bushes on the road side where he carefully placed it then ran back to his car only to re-emerge moments later racing back to the tiny creature again scooping it up and proceeded to make his way across the busy road to the other side ... at which time we had to move along.
I do hope the feathered family was safely reunited and young man I salute you for your good deed it was a lovely moment to watch
It’s always great to know that people in the big city certainly do care and will help others in their moments of need.
Happy Friday everyone

It’s something Judith and Bob have discovered since moving to Bert Sutcliffe Retirement Village in Auckland. The couple enjoy peace of mind knowing exactly what they’re going to pay each week at the village. As a Ryman Healthcare village, Bert Sutcliffe residents enjoy a fixed base weekly fee for life – guaranteed.*
Judith explains, “For us it was a no brainer, it was the best decision.

Delicious as is, the pudding is also receptive to additional flavours such as lemon rind or raisins and spices like ginger or cinnamon. Make it in a family-sized dish or in individual ramekins to give everyone their own personal pud.
Ingredients
75 g Butter, plus extra for greasing
75 g Sugar
75 g Self raising flour
1 Egg
1 Tbsp Milk
100 g Golden syrup
Directions
Lightly grease a mould, a small pudding basin, or 4 ramekins with a little butter. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and fold in the flour and milk. Pour the golden syrup into the bottom of the pudding basin or mould.
Carefully spoon the pudding batter on top of the golden syrup, spreading the mixture evenly. Cover and seal the top of the pudding basin with baking paper tied into place with string (or you can use tin foil).
Place the pudding basin in a large pot of simmering water. Ensure the water comes halfway up the side of the basin, put the lid on and steam for 30-40 minutes. If you are using ramekins, heat an oven to 160C and place the ramekins in a deep oven tray. Pour warm water around them so that it comes halfway up the ramekins and bake for 20 minutes.
Serve with vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream.
Make a change
Lemon golden pudding: Grate the rind of one small lemon and add to the batter with the milk and flour.
Ginger golden pudding: Add 1 tsp of ground ginger with the flour and milk.
Nutty golden pudding: Add chopped walnuts to the bottom of the greased mould before you pour in the golden syrup.

Hi neighbours
Has anyone had dealings with sunshine. A person called Ken threw the phone down in my ear and then they didn't show up on time for paperwork so I left and then got bombarded with texts calling me dishonest and a liar.
What recourse is there for this kind of behaviour?
Thanks
