Hi Neighbours,
As we approach summer we are reminded of the change we are seeing in our New Zealand seasons.

We can all recall the images of the impacts of extreme recent rains in urban Auckland and rural Canterbury. As summer temperatures warm and the season gets longer and longer, the cooling degree day analysis and heatwave days can help you to prepare for such events.

Climate Insights has added two new variables to its Residential Property Climate Risk Report: tropical cyclone and tsunami risk. Information is knowledge. A Climate Insights property report on your residential property also includes tips on what can be done to improve the resilience of your property and householders to emerging weather and climate risks. It only takes minutes to generate a report for any address.

I am looking for an experienced home to help me learn the necessities, continue my socialisation and help me thrive in my new home. Due to my age, I'm not able to be left alone for more than a few hours at a time, though it's a great time to continue my puppy training. I am yet to be tested with small animals, and could learn from an existing male dog in the home. I am better suited to a house with confident teenagers, rather than children. If you're keen to meet me, apply to adopt me and the canine team will be in touch!"

The protesters today at Parliaments

Don't they realise that there is no choice with this virus. By protesting like this, they are putting themselves and others at risk. They are so selfish wrapped up in their own Facebook and Twitter worlds, that they don't and won't see the truth, and the reality of this situation. Where else would they like to be living? New Zealand has always been a 'freedom' place for want of a better description and the team of three, PM, Dr Bloomfield and Minister of Finance, have done an admirable job in keeping us safe thus far. The people NOT keeping us safe, are the protestors today at Parliament, Aucklanders who have admitted breaking the lockdown rules and travelling over the border. Get over it and start thinking. Although unfortunately, the arrogant people protesting at Parliament today have no brain, are not thinking, otherwise they would be vaccinated and be wanting to keep the peace. Trump followers I bet.

Native bird numbers have increased by 50 per cent over the last ten years in Wellington. That is the result of the latest bird survey carried out by the Wellington City Council.
Key findings from the report:
- We are now two and a half times more likely to see kākā throughout the city. These beautiful birds are spreading far and wide, finding new places to live. Some are even visiting our neighbours in Porirua and the Hutt Valley.
- Kākāriki have seen the largest increase – 500% up from 10 years ago – and they are now well established in some of reserves.
- Tūī have increased by 121%. While these birds were already common, they’re loving feeding on the Harakeke and Kowhai planted through our restoration programme.
