Lock-down can be a little boring so to keep amused I am asking you to post an interesting or favourite picture.
Mine is the Baring Head lighthouse near Wellington.
It is a rugged and beautiful spot, and the light was just right for this picture.
Post a picture and tell us a little bit about it.

If you don’t manage to get through to our booking number at first, please try again. We have increased the number of sites and extended our hours so everyone who needs to be tested can be tested.

Covid is a reminder of just how much we rely on health professionals. One of those health professionals is Wellington Free Ambulance. We are lucky to have a free ambulance service and over the next few weeks it is likely to be under more pressure than normal.

We are lucky to have a free ambulance service and over the next few weeks it is likely to be under more pressure than normal. There are 500,000 people in the region and if 85,.000 text ONESIE to 3181 to donate $3, that would be an incredible $255,000, the cost of a new ambulance. You can also donate online at onesieday.co.nz

He obviously didn't get the memo about being a "stately royal spoonbill". I'm in a hide at Pauatahanui, but he totally knows I'm there and is clacking his just desserts spoon at me in case I was thinking of doing anything funny. Royal spoonbill/kōtuku ngutupapa (Platalea regia).
The calendars are a large A3 size and $28 each. I've heard they make a lovely Christmas present or you can keep it for yourself and have this handsome lad hanging in your kitchen for a whole month. DM me or email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz to pre-order a calendar or for other details. Ready end of September/early October. Shipping at cost or free pick-up in Woburn, Lower Hutt. No payment required until ready for shipping/pick-up.

These are:
• a birthing partner for women in labour
• a person supporting a patient with a disability
• a support person for a kaumātua if they require when visiting a patient
Our visitor policy webpages will be updated to reflect this shortly.
As most people should be staying isolated at home, those who are permitted to visit as part of these exceptions will be assessed at the front door and their details will be registered.
During alert level 4, we are prioritising urgent and acute services, and rescheduling planned procedures and outpatient appointments where safe to do so.
We are contacting all affected patients but if you have not heard from us, and are unsure whether to come to your scheduled appointment, please phone Hutt 04 566 6999 the day before your appointment to confirm.
Please note that emergency and urgent services are not affected.
We will continue to provide patients and the public with information as developments progress.
Thank you all for your support at this time.
