The target in NZ for those eligible to be vaccinated is in excess of 90% fully vaccinated by Xmas but the Wellington region is currently at 36.5% fully vaccinated and this compares with our nearest neighbours Wairarapa 45% and Nelson/Marlborough (Tasman) 47%.
We need to broach 90% NZ-wide to be in a position to open up to the world as a reference to the mingling of those vaccinated with other vaccinated people.
It seems that children aged 5-11 will soon be added to those needing to be vaccinated. Perhaps requiring only one innoculation instead of two.
It seems that at least those aged 65-plus and those health compromised will require another booster vaccination next year.
If more variants of Covid emerge it could mean annual vaccinations for all just like the annual influenza vaccinations.
Without doubt there will be restrictions on those not vaccinated and a covid vaccination passport and/or phone ap will be required for proof on vaccination for entry to places and events and travel.

Will Reddy be the second to last representative of British royalty in NZ?
The NZ GG gets to choose her own coat of arms and I note Reddy's version. Perhaps her successor, Dame Cindy Ciro will choose a couple of Pembroke Corgis to adorn her coat of arms instead of NZ native or resident birds which would both please me and Queen Elizabeth quite substantially.
Hello neighbours and gardeners,

This week we feature two guinea pigs.

"We were bought to SPCA because our family could no longer care for us. We are now looking for a home together. Eddie and Valerie are sweet guinea pigs who love their food.
We are very sweet to watch, and are getting better at being handled, but we really don't like it, like most guinea pigs. We will need a large grassy area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. At night, we will need to be inside with you as part of your family so will need an area inside your home. It will need to be large enough for us to fit comfortably for the night, or for days when the weather is just too awful to be outside in. If that sounds like your set-up, please get in touch with our Small Animal Team for an appointment."

Judith Collins is doomed. The combined Nats and ACT "score" is behind Labour who also has the Maori Party and the left-leaning Greens to prop them up out of reach.
Incredibly the Nats need yet another new leader. Could the mantle fall to Wellingtonian, Nicola Willis?
A decision on a leadership change needs to happen within the next 5-6 months and I feel things will come to a head quite quickly.

"This beautiful drawing was a present from my lovely daughter, Caitlin, for my birthday. It's a portrait of a chap who frequents a large tree at the back of our neighbour's section - it borders our section at the back so he is often peering into our yard - this is the view we normally have of him. I've always valued the handcrafted gifts my children give me - looking at them in chronological order is like viewing the ascent of man. This one's going straight to the trophy room. Kererū/wood pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae)."
