Hi there
Does anyone know if there are people out there coordinating rosters and food delivery to our older neighbours here in the Wairarapa?
Really keen to be part of any effort in this regard.

If anyone has a warm glasshouse and would like to see if they can push these little Tomato seedings along you could well get some fruit. They will not grow outside fast enough now as it is too late in the year.
The Tomato is an oval red cherry tomato about the size of a quail's egg.

There is at least ten plants.
Happy to pass them on for a donation of what they are worth to you.
I also have some fresh parsley seed here. I have found Parsley hard to strike but if I scatter the seed and it comes up by itself I weed out the plants I don't want and it seems to do well. I will give you heaps of seeds so you can't miss getting a strike.
Thanks for looking. Happy for a small donation.

Metlink GM Scott Gallacher says, that while there are still a number of issues to work out, all trains and buses will move to Sunday services after Tuesday.
“We’ll work to deliver to the current timetables across the network tomorrow but from first thing Wednesday morning, Sunday timetables will be implemented,” says Mr Gallacher.
Buses will no longer board from the front door. Metlink apologises to customers who rely on the accessibility options provided at the front door and encourages customers to find out more about Total Mobility services during this time by calling 0800 801 700.
Customers will be encouraged to continue their own physical distancing practices on all trains and buses, leaving a space next to them where they can.
“We’re still working out what this might mean for Wairarapa rail services and will provide more updates when they become available,” says Mr Gallacher.
UPDATE: As part of the move to Sunday timetables, Metlink school bus services will not run from Wednesday.

Rain over the weekend has allowed the total garden watering ban in Masterton to be lifted.
Handheld hoses may now be used at any time, but Masterton District Council is urging gardeners to continue their water conservation efforts and not use water unnecessarily.
The rain has lifted levels in the Waingawa River, the source of Masterton’s drinking water.
Conditions can change quickly, and residents are asked to check the Masterton District Council website for updates to the restriction level.
Carterton has lifted its restrictions (so no restriction at present), South Wairarapa remaining on handheld hoses on alternate days.
