NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language) Week 5th - 11th May
Many Deaf people and children celebrate their first language - NZSL this week. Let's learn each day of the sign word of the day. Today - Figs. There is no sign language for Fig, and I am a deaf linguist who uses similar India Sign Language (note they use two hands). I borrowed sign language on loan and used one-hand signs. Here are two photos, but fortunately, I could not download the video here. In the first photo, use your fingers and thumbs close together and move upward in the shape of a tip. In the second photo, open your hand like a flower opening. Then, the sign moves upward as a tip, then downward by turning the hand upside down and opening it like a flower. I hope this makes sense for you to learn. Update I made two video clips under YouTube.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

What do you think of the new Waikato racing centre proposed for Tamahere?
Early plans for a new 164ha base for the Waikato’s horse racing industry have been revealed, which will include space for harness racing, a retirement village, a small commercial precinct and a residential lifestyle block.
A community information day was held at the Tamahere Community Hall on Sunday where locals and other interested parties got to see early versions of the master plan for Waikato Thoroughbred Racing’s (WTR) new racing and events centre to the south of Hamilton.
