With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
We had our house painted by Matt and Jason and were absolutely blown away by their systematic and thorough approach to their job. Their preparation and painting skills are extremely good. They have done such a brilliant job that I feel I should climb onto my roof and share it with the whole world! … View moreWe had our house painted by Matt and Jason and were absolutely blown away by their systematic and thorough approach to their job. Their preparation and painting skills are extremely good. They have done such a brilliant job that I feel I should climb onto my roof and share it with the whole world! If you have a paint job to be done, contact these guys. The cherry on the cake is that their quote was half of all the other quotes! A contact number for Jason is 021 482 070.

Hi Neighbourly folk. You would have seen an article in your local paper on Te Omanga Hospice. It is a really tough time for charities at the moment and hospices, like Te Omanga are struggling.
Have you thought about making a donation to your favourite charity?

An example is the Hurricanes and the Phoenix at Sky Stadium. Great news of course all round with crowd participation an important factor.
Indoor events are restricted at present to 200 and for good reason.
So in Dunedin the Forsyth Barr indoor stadium is used for Super and National rugby competitions involving Highlanders and Otago.
Just what is the status of this venue in regard to the lastest Covid rules? The roof cannot simply be moved off and on within hours of an event.
I think the Govt has given FBS an exemption.
Which reminds me that Sky Stadium is famous for its surround-around internal facility used for indoor events and crowd congregating before, during and after outdoor events - but this too is not restricted to 200 people at a time.
Another exemption it seems.

1. Several gardens around the city, all producing nutrient rich, naturally fertilised spray-free vegetables. Initially Upper Hutt residents can purchase these vegetables through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system. Support a local farmer and a local family.
2. A Composting Program where we collect kitchen green waste from homes or businesses.

Rosa Marie, who often supplies pictures for Friday Feathered Friend, took this picture last night as the storm rolled in to the Hutt Valley.
Did anyone get any lightning shots?
