Well Ernie, it’s a book released on 25 September 2020 – exactly 6 months since New Zealand went into COVID-19 Lockdown. It’s is a photo journal of our neighbour Debbie’s personal experience leading up to and then living in self-isolation in her bubble for 38 days under Lockdown.
Apparently she was stopped in her tracks when she first saw us on Mum’s fence on 3 April - I do remember her taking a couple of photos of us then. Then she was out walking past our house again the next day and Mum had asked us to change our positions, which we had done. Debbie was really tickled by it and then got a bit fixated upon us (wouldn’t be the first) and took our photo every few days whilst out on her walks.
That’s so cool Bert. I do remember Debbie - she visited us often, was always happy for a natter, and yes she loved taking our photo!!! She was in a bubble of just her and her cat if I remember rightly. So is Debbie’s book just photos of us Bert?
No Ernie it’s not all about us, although obviously we are the cover stars and there are lots more photos of us in her book. Her photos which are centred around Hataitai, Kilbirnie, Lyall Bay, Rongotai and Roseneath include photos of the empty streets, the chalk messages of support on the pavement, the innovative ANZAC poppies, the autumn colours and all the other ‘teddies’ placed in view for the kids to seek out as part of the New Zealand Bear Hunt – they are all captured here to preserve these memories. Oh, and not forgetting her book also includes her personal narrative, and the daily NZ COVID-19 stats.
Wow Bert that sounds amazing! So where can we buy her book?
Debbie can be private messaged for bank details, or visited at the Hataitai monthly community market, or you can buy it on her website debbiewareing.com.
Debbie is kindly donating $5 from each book sale to the redevelopment of the 100+ year old Hataitai Centre - the iconic former bowling club.

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.

In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.

Does anybody have excess hay or wood fuel pellets? This little girl needs some of the moisture taken out of the penn, the heavy rainfall last week has made everything a bit squishy.
Hay is for her bedding not for eating so it doesn't have to be yummy

More than 5000 people visited the Aston Norwood Cafe & Function Centre’s Japanese-inspired garden last weekend causing chaos along the adjacent State Highway 2 in Upper Hutt.
Aston Norwood owner Mark Rammell said the volume of traffic outside his business caused gridlocks throughout the weekend. Punters began parking along the margins of the roadway up to 500 metres away after the facility’s 270 carparks filled up.
NZTA is putting in extra parking and road markings to deal with the influx.
