We again feature a pic from Louise Thomas. This week it is a grey warbler/riroriro.

"Nice to see a grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) in the weekend. I'm not hearing them as much now the cicadas have cranked themselves up to full volume. It's probably the end of the breeding season as well. I was interested to read that only the males do the summer warbling, apparently the females only have a short chirp call. Don't ask me why this turkey is hanging upside down - there's always one."
We have had this friendly beautiful long haired grey and white cat frequenting our house in Silverstream, is this your special friend, view the pictures to see if it's yours! Contact me on 02102961400
As the title says, I'm after a narrow external door. Left or right hinged doesn't matter, but 600 is all that will fit. Standard height of around 1950mm is fine.
Timber or aluminium is fine too and happy to collect from anywhere in Kapiti.
It's been heartwarming to hear stories from across the North Island of people taking others into their home and sharing a cup of tea together or fixing them a meal.

Hi folks,

My colleague Jo is writing a story about buying by tender, specifically, the new trend of writing letters to the vendor to explain why they should pick your offer over all the rest.
As the market gets harder and harder to break into, we've been hearing more and more about people trying to make a personal connection with vendors to give their tender offers the edge. We've heard folks will include personal details about their family, why the love the house and what their plans for the property are.
Jo would love to talk to anyone who's written a letter like this to accompany a tender - perhaps it's you, perhaps a relative or friend - or from vendors who've received letters like this, accompanying a tender.
Perhaps you asked for such letters?
We'd love to hear more about that experience for you and how it shaped the way the sale went.
You can reach out to jo here (she'll be joining the Neighbourly neighbourhood soon!) or via our email: homed@stuff.co.nz.
Looking forward to hearing your stories.

People near coast from BAY OF ISLANDS to WHANGAREI including GREAT BARRIER ISLAND and from MATATA to TOLAGA BAY must MOVE IMMEDIATELY to nearest high ground, out of all tsunami evacuation zones, or as far inland as possible. Evacuate these areas even if you did not feel the earthquake. DO NOT WAIT. A damaging tsunami is possible.
People in all other areas who felt a LONG or STRONG earthquake should MOVE IMMEDIATELY to the nearest high ground, out of tsunami evacuation zones, or as far inland as possible.
This evacuation advice overrides the current COVID-19 Alert Level requirements. Do not stay at home. MOVE IMMEDIATELY. Stay 2 metres away from others if you can and if it is safe to do so.
People evacuating should walk, run or cycle if possible to reduce chance of getting stuck in traffic. Do not return until all-clear is given by Civil Defence.

The other afternoon needing a break, and since I enjoy research (strange, I know), I thought I should find out for myself. Anyway, what I learnt was not what I expected, so I thought I would share this in case anybody else is interested out there in our fantastic community.
For anyone that does not want to read everything below, in summary, it is not majority controlled by the Temptleon Group, nor is NZ PROPCO, these are just holding companies.
LinkedIn informs that the majority control appears to fall under a Brett Gamble as he is the CEO of Tailorpsace, the Managing Director of Alvarium Investments NZ and the only shareholder of BHIVE GOLD LIMITED, all of which combined own 50.10% of the airport, the Templeton group it turns out only owns 49.90% of Kapiti airport.
Alvarium Investments NZ is a large fund that is controlled by Alvarium RE Limited (a huge fund) based in London UK, and Tailorspace; as mentioned Brett Gamble is head of both Alvarium Investments NZ and Tailorspace.
Some will be aware that it becomes more complicated for a non NZ company to directly invest in NZ property if their stake goes above 25%, I noticed that Alvarium RE Limited UK is nicely under that at 23%
Finding ownership or any funding information for the Templeton group is much harder, the Templeton group is owned by Templeton holding limited, who in turn is owned by Templeton controller limited.
Templeton controller limited is a trustee company, that is it acts on behalf of others and does not own the assets of the company itself, this type of setup is sometimes used when the real owners/stakeholders of a company don't want to be publically known. I would say that Templeton doesn't seem to want to make it too easy to find out whom Templeton controller limited is fronting/acting for.
What I did find of interest is that Templeton controller limited is the trustee for another company setup around the same time, "WARKWORTH LAND COMPANY LIMITED", that company is 50% owned by AINZ FUND 0 LIMITED, which is 100% owned by Alvarium Investments (NZ) - who of course is 46% owned by Alvarium [RE] Limited in the UK. That association with Templeton controller and Alvarium creates a nice loop between Templeton and Alvarium, although that does not at all mean that either has a stake in the other.
Anyway, I let you make your own mind up if this is of interest to you or not. For me personally, it is just nice to have a better understanding of the key stakeholders and as such who stands to benefit and profit from any development of Kapiti airport.
All the information here is freely and publically available on the companies own websites, companiesoffice.govt.nz, or made public by the companies/persons detailed on LinkedIn.
I have only done a short bit of research here, and there would be a lot more to learn about these relationships out there, but I should get back to what I should be doing...
