Just wondering whether anyone has some dressed Barbie or Bratz dolls that they no longer require? My daughter is looking to find some for her year 13 Photography board. We have looked at local Op Shops but not had much success yet.
Hi neighbours,
Ever wondered why we cover the stories that we do? Or what our policy is on swear words on Stuff? What about why the homepage greets you with 'Kia ora, Aotearoa!' and not 'Hello, New Zealand!' ?

It's too early to tell whether an alert level change is needed in Wellington, according to Chris Hipkins. This comes after a positive Covid-19 case flew from Sydney to Wellington on June 19.
Four close contacts have so far been traced and others are being identified.
Timing of symptom onset indicates the traveller was infected in Australia before flying into New Zealand.
The traveller had one dose of the Astrazeneca vaccine, with the situation being described as low risk. The case was using the Covid-19 Tracer app.
Locations of interest are as follows:
- Qantas flight QF163 that arrived at 12.05am on June 19
- Rydges Hotel from 12am June 19 to 9.10am June 21
- Unichem Pharmacy on Lambton Quay from 10.38am to 11.48am June 19
- Te Papa from 3.05pm to 5.45pm on June 19
- Te Papa's Surrealist Art exhibit from 4pm to 5.45pm on June 19
- Jack Hackett's Bar from 8.45pm to 12am on June 19
Wellingtonians are encouraged to check their movements around June 19 to June 21 and to continue to check the Ministry of Health website as more locations of interest may be added.
For more information visit the Ministry of Health website.
Neighbourly will update this message as further information comes to hand.
There have been a lot of bird and animal stories on Nieghbourly but this picture by Andrew Gorrie is too good to ignore.
This week we feature the exquisitely named Socrates Wolffram who belongs to Anna Wolffram. Have you heard of a better name for a dog?

"This is Cranford, who is the proud "guard cat" of St Paul's Waiwhetu, where he is a familiar face around the church property. He is pictured beside his "Cat cave"- he sleeps in it almost all year round.
He resides at the St Paul's Vicarage; with his four staff- Karl, Mel, Maiah and Poppy. Cranford is also a proud graduate of the SPCA in Wellington."

A mate of mine who is a lawnmowing contractor, is on the lookout for a casual gardener.
The work is mainly weeding,but other tasks may be required from time to time,so some gardening knowledge would be advantageous.
This would be on an 'as required' basis.

I am hoping there is a guardian angel out there somewhere who has a long term rental available. My current rental is to be sold so I am looking for a two bedroom place that will be a long term tenancy agreement.

My current rental is to be sold so I am looking for a two bedroom place that will be a long term tenancy agreement. As I have mobility issues it needs to have shower that is not over a bath, easy access as I use a walking frame and somewhere to keep my mobility scooter dry when I'm not using it. Heating needs to be either a Heat Pump or other efficient heating as I can not manage the wood required for a fire. Currently I live in Otaki but will consider anything between Raumati South and Otaki. Moving further South or North is out of the question
