Meet and greet
Hi, not sure if this allowed, but am going to try. Mature but not old guy with 2 beautiful dogs in his life, Jade and Skye, would like to meet a lady I would think in the 62 to 72 age for walking, brunch I really am not sure. About me, am told presentable, casual but scrubs up nice, 5ft 8ish I guess medium build, working, non smoking or vaping, hate both with a passion, good sense of humor am a Scorpio so spontaneous.You, well this is so hard and delicate, but guess I should put some likes, non smoker or vaping, social drinker, possibly has a family that they love, as do I, has respect for others, as do I, does not get too upset if surprised with flowers. This really is very difficult, but have just moved into the bays so how does one meet like minded people. I am English, I have a lovely little rented property, the 3 of us are real happy so should anyone maybe feel a little adventurous please make contact.stan.freeman@xtra.co.nz

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
