Crocs
Further to the poll about crocs. I have always thought they were ugly but since I have had arthritis and find it difficult to get in and out of gumboots etc. I started looking at what would be easy to put on that weren't slides or jandals.
I bought some crocs as they would be ideal for wearing in the garden. As I have to get one shoe raised I got the left croc raised. Mine came with a lining as well. They have made my life so much easier. They keep me balanced when walking and working outside because they have a wide sole. I wouldn't wear them away from home but would be ok wearing them to the beach. I'm pleased I bought them and they have made it much easier for me to get around outside.

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.

New neighbour
Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
