Police are searching hospitals and schools across the country after threats were made against a number of organisations, RNZ is reporting.

What you need to know:
- Bomb threats were made within emails received around 9am today (23 November).
- RNZ understands police have been searching the premises at Auckland City Hospital and Manukau Superclinic.

Police are working to establish the origin of the emails and have yet to establish any actual threat to any organisation.

Fionnagh Dougan, Te Whatu Ora's national director hospital and specialist services, said in a statement to Stuff:
'Members of the public with appointments at our hospitals or needing emergency treatment should be assured it is safe to attend their local hospital as usual.'

Free container-grown plants for planting in Autumn

Hundreds of native seeds fall and grow, even in our own little garden and gravel driveway, so we have been potting them up in recycled pots with roughly-composted wood chip mulch so our garden restoration clients can have free plants for planting season (or earlier if they have a loose soil and are prepared to water them…but Autumn is much easier!)

We are now offering 10-20 plants (depending on size), in a limited range of species – this year we concentrated on kawakawa, karamu, nikau and Carex – free with every 10 hours of gardening or habitat restoration, while stocks last.

We will look after the plants for those customers till Autumn.

Here’s what they look like at present:

Downsize to a Richer, Happier Life

William Sanders Retirement Village

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.

Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.

No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.
