Once again thanks Louise Thomas for the picture and words.
"Last summer we had a mallard couple that regularly visited us. They would waddle up the drive way, the female in the lead, and come around the back to the kitchen door to see if we had any rice or other tasty bits. I often wonder what happened to them, and how they negotiated the roads, and wondered how word got around in the first place that we might be the local soup kitchen. I was going to get a paddling pool for them, but they didn't turn up this summer. Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) male at Days Bay duck pond. Bird #68 in 2022.."

Not only that, but they bake their own bread, and sweet pastries. Today I had a pain aux raisins to die … View moreI'd like to do a big shout out for fairly recently opened Black Lion Cafe in Cuba St, opposite Rough Peel Music.

They are both about end-of-life experiences of two different groups of people who have life-limiting cancer:
1. Those who have chosen not to have hospice services involved or those whose referral has been declined by hospice.
2. Those who are seeking assisted dying.
Given the COVID situation and the health status of the participants, we will be conducting the interviews online. This means participants can be based anywhere in NZ.
Iβm happy to answer any questions you may have.
I have received ethical approval for each study from the Northern B Health and Disability Ethics Committee.
If you are able to share the study flyers with anyone you know who meets the study criteria, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for considering my request.
NgΔ manaakitanga, all the best,

Power bills are pesky, it's just one of those things every household has to manage.
If you're stuck with it, then make sure it works for you. We want to know when was the last time you switched power providers?
