We all value our independence, however over time our needs can change. Assisted-living apartments balance an independence lifestyle in a stylish apartment alongside support that makes life easier. Housekeeping, a chef-prepared meal, activities and outings, it’s the perfect balance.
Great question. Your executor oversees your will when you pass away, so it’s an important job. If things have changed for you or your executor since the days of cassette tapes and telethons, it might be time to appoint a new one.

You can choose a new executor when you update your will – you can even appoint Public Trust, which gives you the reassurance of an executor who is impartial, always available and has the right expertise.

We are still getting used to being with people, so don't like to be picked up. Our confidence is slowly improving. We are very cute and great to watch. We will need a large grass area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. We need to come inside at night to spend time with our family, and to help us keep safe from the weather and other animals."

Hi I need to replace my badly damaged car and I am looking at getting a hybrid.
I drive the Rimutaka hill every day so I average about 900 KL per week. I would appreciate some feed back from hybrid drivers about the hill road and the performance of the hybrid.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.”
Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.
Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.

"Over the last few weeks, Charlie and I have been keeping an eye on the progress of a bird's nest just by our house. Today, the nest was empty only 20 days later – the birds had all fledged and were hanging about like teenagers in the trees around our garden. Well done mummy thrush; you've been an inspiration."
One arm is taped up over a tear.
May be able to be delivered within Masterton residential area if needed.

A northbound passing lane south of the summit on SH2 Remutaka Hill will be closed day and night for 2 weeks while contractors retrieve the container, its items and the trailer from the recent fatal crash.
We anticipate the closure of one lane combined with a temporary 50km/h speed restriction both north and southbound in this area will be a minor inconvenience for most traffic.
However, road users should travel with caution through the area because of the visual distraction and likelihood of trucks entering and exiting a retrieval site at the northern end of the passing lane.
Day/night northbound passing lane closure and temporary speed restriction – dates and place
. Day and night starting 7pm Sunday night 21 November to 5pm Friday 3 December.
. The 200m northbound passing lane starts 1.7km south of the summit. RP SH2-931/1.7-1.5
. The left-hand northbound lane will be closed. Traffic will use the right-hand northbound lane.
. A 50km/h speed restriction will operate in both directions north and south.
What’s happening?
. Two retrieval sites will be established on flat land off-road to allow retrieval of items from the recent fatal crash while causing minimal disturbance to highway traffic.
. The passing lane closure will allow trucks to move in and out of the off-road retrieval site situated near its northern end.
. A second off-road retrieval site near the start of the passing lane will not have access to the road. All movements here will be via a track cut between the two sites.
What should drivers be aware of?
. Off-road retrieval activities may be a distraction to drivers.
. Site trucks will occasionally move in and out of the northern off-road retrieval site.
. Please be prepared to slow down as you approach the area.
