We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

Hi please keep a look out for a large grey cat. We recently adopted him and while getting used to the house he's managed to get out. We are very worried and miss him. If you have any information please let me know. He's very friendly and approachable.

New Zealand Post quoted me $136.70 to send a very small parcel to China. (Mobile phone size).
Does anyone else think this price is outrageous?

Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks.
By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you bring in 2 cans of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.90 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.
Less is best – plastic that is. So what better way to help the environment than to create your own fun, reusable calico shopping bag? Paint your own with Resene testpots.
Find out how to create your own.

Located in Riverhead ZaberriWorld is a berry farm where visitors can pick their own strawberries, raspberries and blackberries.
ZaberriWorld also offers a variety of fun outdoor activities including an adventure inflatable, trampolines, a free train ride and ice cream.
Boman Zakeri, ZaberriWorld owner, was 15 when he started working in the industry. Even as a young man, he had a vision to own his very own berry farm one day.
Zakeri said: “Waitangi is an important event we should never forget our history. It is important for our younger generation to learn more about it.”
While many Waitangi Day events were cancelled, whānau and friends who came to ZaberriWorld had the chance to see farm animals from Little Bo Peep’s Mobile Home up close.
Jessica Fernandez, who went with her mum and dad, said: “It was a really good family experience.”
Samantha Carruthers, manager of ZaberriWorld, said: “It was great to see so many happy kids who had gumboots on and rain jackets. Even with a bit of drizzle, it was good to see people get out trying to enjoy there weekend.”

Kia ora Neighbours, I've had my first encounter with the Covid-19 tracking system, after becoming a "close contact" during a morning bus ride. Now the question is, do I get straight back on the bus? Would you?
