Rubbish
Today I saw a White Station wagon belonging to a Cleaning Company (the car was advertising the company but I am not allowed to name them on Here) stop outside my Neighbours House and dumped 2 Black Sacs of rubbish on the berm and drove off. I rang the company number on the car to report it and they pleaded with me not to report it to the Council once I told them I had it on CCTV. This is not good enough when we all use our Wheelie Bins for our rubbish. If you would like the name of the company so you can be aware of their practice please PM me and I will be happy to give it to you.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
