If you have cats that need looking after, that’s great, I can help. Dogs typically prefer someone home during the day but if that’s not an issue, we can talk about that.

ABOUT ME
I’m nearing retirement and planning my VanLife adventures. I will fit out my own van and travel around NZ, finish hiking the rest of the great walks, riding and bike packing.

I work full time for a software company Monday to Friday in the Auckland CBD and ride to work most days. I have the option to work from home one day per week.

I do gardening, mow lawns, pull weeds…whatever is required to keep your home looking ‘lived in’.

DURATION
Ideally, at least 4 weeks to as long as required. But if you’re away a bit short of that time, ask me.

I'm available from 2 June to 31 December 2023.
Happy to pay for water, power and internet usage.

Please reply to this post or just send me a personal message via Messenger or Facebook - I'm very easy to find.

This bird appeared out of nowhere, was eating some seed in our small rose garden, where we feed wild birds. Was hereabouts a few hours, sat on the wisteria on the balcony just a few feet from where we were working. At one point flew past and brushed me, then landed on Ali's shoulder briefly! Not bothered by me getting close to photograph. Then rested in the rose garden, had a drink from the just-cleaned bird bath. Had gone by about 6pm (before the next bird feed was put out), haven't seen it since. Have only managed to upload one photo

14th February - 10:45am Update: National State of Emergency
Minister for Emergency Management, Kieran McAnulty, has confirmed a National State of Emergency this morning due to the widespread damage across the country due to Cyclone Gabrielle.

While many regions have already declared a local state of emergency, a National State of Emergency gives the National Controller legal authority to apply resources across the country in support of a national level response.

Here's what you need to know:
- Heavy rain red warnings are in place for Northland and Hawke's Bay, with red strong wind warnings also for Northland, Coromandel and Taranaki. Check all weather warnings on the MetService website.
- States of emergency have been declared in Northland, Auckland, Tairāwhiti, Ōpōtiki, Thames-Coromandel District, Waikato District, Hauraki District, Whakatāne District, Bay of Plenty, Napier and Hastings.
- There has been a landslide in Murawai with one firefighter missing.
- Gisborne is feared cut off and the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula. Residents are to take note of the Welfare Centres for Gisborne and Coromandel.
- A number of road closures are in place across the North Island. View these on the Waka Kotahi NZTA website.
- Fire and Emergency is urging people to only call 111 if life or safety is at risk after a surge in calls.
- In Auckland there are 27 shelters and civil defence centres where people can go in an emergency.

Stuff are posting live updates and have shared what you need in your 3-day emergency kit. Stay up to date with Civil Defence updates and track the storm here.

2pm Update for Hawke's Bay:
Multiple evacuations needed in Puketapu, Esk Valley, Rissington, Omahu, Waiohiki, Jervoistown and Meeanee and Waipawa.
Many remain trapped in cars and houses. Several bridges have been taken out with access between Hastings and Napier now cutoff. More than 20,000 people are without power and cellphone communication in and out of the region is patchy.
Omahu residents needing shelter can go to Hastings Sports' Centre. Taradale residents can head to St Joseph's Māori Girls' School.
