Please feel free to comment here or to message me directly. Please put 'NFP' in your comment or message if you do not want your name or suggestion published.

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years. Parvo can remain on surfaces for up to a year, so dogs are at constant risk if they’re unvaccinated, or if their vaccinations lapse. Please ensure your dogs are protected against this heartbreaking illness, and book your vaccines and boosters as soon as possible. It could be the difference between life and death.

As residents of William Sanders Village, they frequently clock up 12 kilometres in a day, enjoying the charm of their local neighbourhood. Their favourite routes feature stunning harbour and bay views and regular stops at their much-loved local cafés.
“There are so many beautiful walks nearby, It’s such a convenient area to explore,” says Eric.

I'm aware there are other The Avenues in Auckland (please share this in Takapuna and Albany) but we can't find the person in any phone book and as it was couriered the Post Office won't redirect it. Please get in touch, Mr Dela Pena, to me, Terry Conner. The courier is proving hard to trace too. Eventually we will have to dispose if it, so please be prompt.

Food with Potassium, Dietary Fiber, Magnesium, Vitamins A, B-6 & C, etc. Banana leaves, flowers & stems also useful. No chemicals were used. Only use organic matures including old banana stems & leaves. Best grown during the summer and watered twice or thrice during the week when it does not rain. So easy to grow & needs minimum care. We were made to understand that this banana type is Misi Luki. Google the advances of this type of banana compared to others.
Banana seedling prices depend on size but most cost around $18 each. Organic banana fruit, banana leaves & banana blossom cost about $6 per Kg, $1 each & $9 per kg respectively. Pickup & delivery are available and pay at pickup or pay before delivery plus the delivery charge. Fix an appointment (afternoons or evenings every day) before arrival at Te Atatu South, West Auckland.
One day all the villagers decided to pray for rain
On the day of the prayer all the people gathered
But only one boy came with an umbrella.
That is faith.
When you throw babies up in the air they laugh
That is trust
Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning

When you throw babies up in the air they laugh
That is trust
Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning
That is hope
We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future
That is confidence
We see the world suffering
But still get married and have children
That is love
On an old man’s t shirt was written a sentence
I am not 80 years old, I am sweet 16 with 64 years of experience
That is attitude
Have a happy day and live life like the above,
Remember that “Good Friends Are The Real Jewels In Life
Difficult To Find and Impossible to Replace
I asked my friend to spell wonton backwards.
He said not now!
What do you call a melon that’s not allowed to get married?
Cantaloupe
What do you call a belt made out of $100 notes?
A waist of money
