Hi Neighbours,
Here's the latest from Don who's been in isolation for 14 days,
We welcome you back Don....
Hi Everyone,
Please share this message and my newsletter with your members and contacts

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

Purple bearded iris rhizomes

I am replanting my bearded iris and have rhizomes to give away if any one is interested. The rhizomes are placed on top of soil rather than buried.

Easy care but need lifting and splitting periodically. Flower late Oct. though may have to wait for next year. They look pretty much the same as the picture though there may be a few white ones among them. I can leave some at the front gate for anyone in Mt Eden, those out of area can pick them up after lockdown. i have a lot.

Kia ora Neighbours,

If you haven't already, you can grab yours here:

Whilst self-care is a bit of a buzz word, it is something we all need more of. You can't pour from an empty cup...but making time to fill that cup is a struggle for many of us (even during lockdown!). Part of this struggle is knowing what is appropriate self-care for your personality.

That’s why this workshop is all about shedding light on the introvert/extrovert dimension of personality; giving you the info and tips to tailor your self-care and social interactions to suit your personality, and learn how to thrive as an introvert!

Potato varieties to plant

Colleen from Onehunga

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 :-)
