Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

Three of New Zealand's most celebrated actors take centre stage in Auckland Theatre Company’s season of Two Ladies at Clarence Street Theatre from March 5-6.

TWO LADIES catapults two dynamic women into a high-tension global crisis. While their husbands, the Presidents of the United States of America and France, cross diplomatic swords, the real fireworks are down the hall, where bloodied Sophia and world-weary Hélène are trapped together, distrustful of their husbands and each other.

Starring 2020 New Zealander of the Year Jennifer Ward-Lealand (The Seagull), Anna Jullienne (Mean Mums) and Rena Owen (Once Were Warriors).

💕🐇Rabbit Vaccinations🐇💕

Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre

Did your family get a baby bunny for Christmas or is your adult rabbit due for their annual vaccination?

Did your family get a baby bunny for Christmas or is your adult rabbit due for their annual vaccination?

In New Zealand we have a highly contagious disease known as Rabbit Calicivirus Disease (RCD), also known as Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (HVD). This is invariably lethal in all rabbits.

It is easily spread and infected rabbits can spread it through faeces, urine, saliva, nasal discharge and blood. The main vector for transmission of the disease are flies.

Most rabbits die very quickly within a few days and often without showing any obvious clinical signs before they die.

There are 3 strains of the virus in New Zealand and we have available a vaccine that will offer good immunity against 2 of the strains, sadly no vaccine is 100% effective.

Vaccination can be started at 10-12wks of age with just 1 vaccine required yearly. If starting vaccines before 10-12wks of age, then they will need a booster every 3wks until they reach 12wks of age.
