Ideas gratefully accepted :-)

But they are not just there for fun, but to improve their brains.
Dancing has so many beneficial effects on the brain that it is now being used to treat people with Parkinson’s disease, which affects about 1 in 500 Kiwis.
“Motion is lotion, getting people moving is really important,” dance leader and physiotherapist Rachel Horwell said.
What do you do to keep fit and stimulate your brain?

If yes to any of these questions, then please see our buyers this week. We will buy single items or complete collections.
The recent lockdown has seen many of us take the time to sort items we no longer require or simply want to turn into cash.
We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.
Buying now at a venue near you deal with the specialists.

This week we feature Siam the klepto-cat. Not sure where Siam lives but the submission made by Sine Goldfinch was to good to ignore.

"Siam came in my cat door six years ago with this sponge in his mouth and dropped it at my feet as a gift for me. His owner gave him to me because he just refused to go and six years on, he still brings the same sponge to me every night. I'm pretty sure it is the equivalent of roses in his mind."
Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say what suburb you live in.

Affectionally is known as 'the poor man's Spitfire', these aircraft were used for decades by a number of Air Forces to train pilots. Many exist today around the world in civilian ownership, including around 12 in New Zealand. We will have at least 3 examples on display, including the very aircraft that Prince Philip learned to fly in.
The Kittyhawk Cafe will be open and we can offer joyrides in 1940s vintage open-cockpit Tiger Moth biplanes.
This event is weather permitting.

Technically it is not a Feathered Friend but this a lovely pic from Rosa Marie after her recent visit to Zealandia. Weta used to be much more common, when was the last time you saw a weta in your garden?

"I am currently in a foster home with my sisters, and my foster mum says I am timid but become friendly with time and patience... can you give that to me? I would do best in a quiet and stable home, with people around to offer me support. I would not settle with a busy home or one with young children. I am quite a chatter box and have a very playful side. If this sounds like your kind of cat , please get in touch and we will put you in touch with my foster mum."
