Cello to borrow
Wishing you peace at this season and hope you all keep safe.
A huge stab in the dark. Does anybody have a full size cello that they wouldn’t mind lending us for the period between 3 and 13 January? Our 16yr-old grandson is a cello scholar at Brisbane Boys College. In the past he has brought his cello along on visits to us. After his 10-day visit with us he will be going to Queenstown for Duke of Edinburgh (gold) Challenge so no way could he bring along the cello. We promise to take responsibility to return it exactly how we receive it.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
