We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

I am sweet when it suits, I look adorable and my caregivers tell me I am, but if I have had enough fuss, or I see another cat, I have another side. I am looking for someone who can speak cat, who can read cat, and loves me for who I am. I hate other cats, and would probably make a dog's life unpleasant. I am looking for a home with older children, or just adults, who will love me for who I am. If you are still reading this, then please click apply now so my caregivers can find out more about you, and can make you an appointment to come and meet me."

She naps for super short periods and then has way too much energy 😂 She has settled in well to our home and has certainly made it her own. Lola finds our rainbow lorikeet very interesting and has tried many times to make friends with him. She’s growing way too fast for my liking in the three weeks we’ve had her."
TVOne News tonight did itself a disservice by comparing Denmark favourably with NZ in relationship to the Covid response.
Denmark has six million people whilst NZ has five million and both countries are among the highest ranked in the OECD.

Denmark has six million people whilst NZ has five million and both countries are among the highest ranked in the OECD.
Demmark has just now cut the cord of restrictions that NZ holds onto.
But TVOne News failed to state that Denmark has lost almost 4000 people to Covid while NZ sits just above 50.
Only a few days ago, Denmark still recorded 18 deaths to Omicron in a single day. NZ's worse day for Omicron deaths so far is one or two.

Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks.
By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you bring in 2 cans of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.90 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.
Less is best – plastic that is. So what better way to help the environment than to create your own fun, reusable calico shopping bag? Paint your own with Resene testpots.

Hi
I know this is a long shot but I have a couch and a large cat tree I need to get down from Palmerston north to Upper hutt and was wondering if anyone knew of a empty truck heading this way that might be happy to bring it down. Happy to make arrangement regarding payment.
Thank you so much to the wonderful lady that donated all the quilting material and accessories, I so much appreciate that you thought of the Red Cross. Once again thank you.
Good morning! We have lots of useful information in our e-newsletter... Click here for the latest news and information from Age Concern Wellington Region: dashboard.vega.works...

Trouble is the implication of the story is that the Wallaceville Estate as one of the venues for the hooning and this developing residential housing area is at the centre of high ended noise levels and general mayhem which has residents of the estate too scared to confront the villians or take videos or photos to present to authorities.
In other word the Estate is getting bad raps.
But the truth of the matter is the spasmodic burn-outs etc are occurring on the non-residential streets on the East side of Alexander Road with Alexander Road itself open to speeding.
I spoke to Jamie Gillies on the matter and he said the reporter refused to listen to him when told that the Wallaceville Estate inner roads and streets were not the subject of these issues.
You cannot let the truth hinder a "good" story.
I emailed the UHCC about the burn-outs many months ago but am still waiting for a reply.
