What is the name of these flowers?? A friend of our pharmacy dropped them off to us a couple of days ago and we LOVE them! ..but neither any of our staff or our customers know the name of this beautiful flower...do you know the name ?
Thank you New Zealand for your exceptional support to the families of victims of the Christchurch mass shootings at the Masjid Al Noor and Linwood mosques in Christchurch.
This is a shout out for the lovely people at Home Harvest Cafe, 3 Plateau Rd, Te Marua, Upper Hutt 5018 open Thursday -Sunday. Tonida (Sp?) is from Sumatra and she and her family (many work at the cafe) are delightful. The toasted cheese scones are very good and so is the coffee.

Tonida (Sp?) is from Sumatra and she and her family (many work at the cafe) are delightful. The toasted cheese scones are very good and so is the coffee. It is definitely worth a trip down the road from town to sit outside under the trees having a yarn with the locals. Visit them on Thursday and Friday if you can as they could use more business then. It is a great place to stop if you are cycling the Rimutakas or walking in Kaitoke forest. They are renovating a cottage to take guests and it would be a lovely spot to stay.

Faulting people for exercising their right to demand transparency and accountability from the people we elect and pay for with our rates, is a form of self disenfranchisement, a giving up of your rights.
Demanding information, transparency and accountability is exactly what we all should be doing, everyone of us whatever our opinions. It is a responsibility of all of us in society to do so.
It is called democracy, it is critical that we hold those in power, especially those we are taxed to govern us, to account.
A badly conceived and not really researched 'Philosophical Trend' and a new Library Manager also paid for by our rates, our public servant, doing a 'new broom' thing, by downgrading the Library.
No sorting into genre - less person hours, less persons employed by the Library. No icon on bindings, a saving there, as staff don't have to apply them and don't need them any more to facilitate sorting into genre before shelving, time and wages saved. Money to be used elsewhere (astro turf)?
Now we have many people, ratepayers, not liking their Library experience for a variety of valid reasons due to the changes, feeling alienated, we haven't changed the Library changed, we are due a review which I for one, will look forward to attending.
I always encourage anyone who has any point of view to not just say it on social media and think it is picked up by politicians, central or local government, you are wrong.
Unless you contact and comment to them directly, you don't get counted.
Whatever your point of view, express it to your elected representatives directly.
Make your voice heard where your vote matters.
They interpret your silence as permission, and that you are OK with how things are going.

Hi Everyone,

I went to Queensgate to purchase some photos for my dying father Wednesday 13th of March and took my memory cards in a hand size box which has Re-sound written on the outside. I have missed placed this box somewhere in queensgate or in the carpark. I have spoken to all the shops I visited and the information centre and I have placed a lost property order at the police station. These memories sticks have several years of photos from my trips and memories of myself and my family and I am very heartbroken that I have lost them. Is there anyone out there who can tell me if they have seen them or picked up this box. The memory sticks do not have much memory and would probably not be much use to anyone.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!
As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."
