Peepo - "A couple weeks ago we adopted Benjamin Button, now called Peepo. He has been a delight and a half, to say the least, and has grown so big in such a small amount of time! Slowly, he has adjusted to his new home and is now a superb older brother to his little sister, Namnam. The staff at the SPCA were super helpful throughout the entire adoption process, even giving us tips on how to introduce our new kittens. Suffice to say they are now best buddies."
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.

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. 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

Vaccine bookings
Vaccination centres will open again today from 8am.
They will be operating under Alert Level 4 conditions. Because of the need to physically distance, fewer people will be vaccinated and some appointments may need to be postponed.

You know building the skills and capability of your staff is vital, but it’s hard to know where to start or even where to turn for advice, so it keeps sliding down your to-do list.

There is about 8 to 10 hen/rooster free range birds that need a covered house with a perch in so they can be kept dry and under cover, also where I can also feed them.
