HOME HELP NEEDED 😄 Great for student nurse/retired nurse

Helen from Totara Vale

Morning Neighbours. I'm needing a fabulous someone to help care for my 89yo mum. Part time, mainly mornings.😇 2 days a week. Making her breakfast, mid morning snack & lunch. Light cleaning duties. No showering, she has a carer support doing that. My mum loves company and is a softly spoken person, good SOH, limited English, she likes her Chinese TV & walking on the deck. Suited to someone who is softly spoken, cheerful & friendly. Prefer Cantonese speaking 😄 but not necessary. My existing Helper is going away for a few months till early next year. Lovely to chat & meet you. Greatly appreciated. Call/text me 027 3862680. Cheers 😃Helen

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
