"Might I suggest that if you don't want people to know you are nesting there, that you stop screaming like a stuck pig every time someone walks past. Just a thought. Pūkeko/purple swamphen (Porphyrio melanotus) at Manor Park Golf Sanctuary."

Read about this Dunedin cafe where vegetables from the kitchen has been grown by the owner. The staples of pumpkins, beetroot, cabbage and carrots do well here, he says, with a wide variety of other crops including spring onions, kohlrabi, celery, fennel, kale, potatoes, silverbeet, leek, mint and herbs. Yummy!

"I'm a playful pup, who loves having a wrestle with my friends and burning off my puppy energy. I have quickly become a volunteer favourite and they can’t understand why I am still here. I am looking for a semi-experienced home to help me learn the necessities, continue my socialisation and help me thrive in my new home. Due to my age, I'm not able to be left alone for more than a few hours at a time, though it's a great time to continue my puppy training.
I am beginning to learn basic commands like sit, down and come. I love chasing balls and chewing , I am very clever at doing both of these things. I am yet to be tested with small animals, and could learn from an existing male dog in the home. I am better suited to a house with confident teenagers, rather than children. If you're keen to meet me and be very entertained by me, apply to adopt me and the canine team will be in touch."

Ted was last seen on Wednesday November 17, asleep in her back garden. By Thursday morning he had vanished and McNair is convinced he has been stolen.
"My place is like Fort Knox, there are two gates and there is no way he could have got out without assistance."
She is unsure why some one would want to steal a blind cat but she says it is second time, she has had a blind cat stolen.
An extensive search in the neighbourhood has not located him and she says being in an area that he does not know, will be scary.
Ted also suffers from a heart murmur and the stress will be making it worse, she says.
The Kitten Inn rehouses cats and kittens, with volunteers taking taking the kittens until a new owner can be found.
"If someone has taken him please return him, we love and miss him very much. No questions will be asked, we just want him back.
If you have any information that might lead to Teds return please call 5651193
As a tradie, you probably don’t realise the stress your body endures on a daily basis because you’re used to getting on with the job, right?

Do yourself a favour - stop and take a moment to appreciate how hard your body is working. It lifts, twists, pulls, carries and bends all day long! The thing is, we can’t replace our spines like we can a rusty pipe, but we can take steps to look after ourselves to ensure our spine is as healthy as possible.
We have put together 7 tips on what to do in order to minimize the impact of your work stresses and avoid possible back injuries.
