Supermarkets not up to the Challenge
I went shopping at Countdown Hornby yesterday and a young guy was so close that he breathed down my neck when I was at the till. His breath stank. The checkout operator said nothing - no-one said anything and I weighed up between turning round and telling him off (and risk being coughed at or an altercation) or getting away as quickly as possible. Supermarkets have to ramp up their game with keeping people like that in line and possibly trespassing them. No good having all these rules in place if there are individuals like that around.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
