With winter fast approaching it's time to look at your fireplaces and chimneys
:

•Clean chimneys and flues before you light the first fire of the season.

•Always use a fireguard or spark-guard when using an open fire.

•Never throw rubbish into the fireplace – particularly batteries and aerosol cans.

•Always empty ashes and ashtrays into a metal bin and pour water over them before disposal. Remember that ashes can take up to 5 days to cool.

•Keep matches, lighters and anything else that can create fire out of reach of children.

Spent the weekend involuntarily investigating Auckland’s hospital system. My family has a history of clogged arteries which despite being a virtuous non smoker I have been unable to escape.

So I ended up Saturday morning at Auckland Hospital for an angioplasty and a few stents. Procedure went well and I’m hassling the doctor to let me go home. Hopefully tomorrow and after a few days of working from home, I’ll be back at work.

A big thanks first to doctors, nurses and staff. They been really great, both professional and caring. They are a wonderful cross section of multicultural Auckland. It’s fantastic that in our country people get the urgent treatment they need and according to that need and not ability to pay.

Thanks also for the kind messages from so many people. Heartfelt appreciation!

The painting was done by my lovely granddaughter Brooklyn.

Once again, we are looking forward to yet another exciting development as well as improvements to the car park in front of the Lodge in Acacia Cove Village.

We are upgrading our car park which will increase the number of cars able to park right in front of the Lodge for the convenience of our Residents. An even more exciting development in the pipeline is the construction of five new apartments. The plans for these were in the making for quite some time, and if all goes well we hope to commence construction towards the end of April.
