Signing up only takes 2 minutes and when you do, you’ll be entered to win a personal emergency grab bag or civil defence wheelie bin kit from NZ Civil Defence.
ShakeOut takes place around the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake:
DROP - down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.
COVER - your head and neck (or entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you). If there is no shelter nearby, cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
HOLD - on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.
Head to www.shakeout.govt.nz... to sign up today and get involved!

Sending Love is about people and communities coming together to make a festive gesture towards another person who may experience loneliness over Christmas. It is one person putting love and thought into a card to pass a smile and a sense of feeling remembered and loved onto another person.
It is not an organization, or a charity; "Sending Love" is a platform and vehicle to enable sending love from one individual to another. It is an avenue to teach communities and children about the power of a simple act of kindness, and the impact this can have on the recipient. It is also about raising awareness in communities across the country of what may be behind closed doors, the sad reality of the loneliness that exists around us all, and that each and every one of us are empowered and have the capacity to be part changing that.
Cards made by children bring a lot of joy to anyone who receives them, there is something very special about them.
The nationwide project started in 2017, we received 32,000 cards within 5-weeks to distribute to rest homes and some RSA's, Meals on Wheels, hospital wards, Women's Refuge etc.
Due to Covid it is uncertain if "Sending Love" will continue collecting cards in other areas, but I am happy to continue to do so at a local level.
Last year I collected 968 cards from our local community.
That's 968 smiles
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible. Lets see if we can reach 1000 this year!!!
I will advise collection points at a later date.
Feel free to contact me on 0273269434 or tyddahunt@xtra.co.nz
Thanks in advance

Now since 5 years ago or so, they stopped doing it so I would walk the dog in knee high wet grass. We asked many times why they wouldn't do it and they said they "never did it in the first place". Now we finally got an answer: they won't mow in a 100kph zone. Ummm there's not many cars down there and most go up to 80 anyway. I'm just so tempted to voluntarily mow it at this stage but I will need a weedeater for that length!!
A nicely established succulent in the rectangular ceramic planter that you see in the pic. It will keep improving in appearance.
Doesn't mind getting dry or being placed in full sun.
One of the florettes has two pink flower stalks appearing. Others could well do so.

I am a sweet dog looking for my forever home. I am looking for a very special home that can understand my quirks and needs. A home that can help me thrive and be the best companion I can be. My ideal home would be one that has had previous large dog experience and or greyhound. I walk beautifully on a lead but in saying that I would need a home that can handle me as I can be strong when I want. I have had a fair amount of training from my previous home but there is always room for more growth. I am super smart and a lover of all yummy foods so will pick up new things very quickly. I can be shy when meeting new people so I would love a quiet patient home that can read when I am not comfortable. A home with no children. I could live with an older settled male dog but in saying this I am used to having my own space. I am not suited to a home with cats or any small animals."
60cms wide this planter attaches to a wall.
In used condition but not rusty at all.
