Why not turn lockdown into productivity at home, bring the scents of Spring inside and start your clear out early? Now is a great opportunity to get stuck in to declutter or spruce up your space, pop any unwanted or surplus goods aside, and we will let you know once we are safe to start receiving donations again.
With our SPCA Op Shops closed under Level 4 and Level 3 across the country, we would be incredibly grateful for any donated goods you can put aside for our local stores, all money raised contributes to helping animals in need.
Stay safe Aotearoa 💙

Around 50 to 60 homes have been evacuated and an emergency shelter has been set up at 6 Henderson Valley Road.
West Auckland has been hit the worst with flooding in Helensville, Kumeu, Henderson Valley and Rānui.
Firefighters received around 170 weather related calls overnight.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said evacuation advice overrides Covid-19 restrictions.
Auckland’s two vaccination centres at the Trusts Arena and the Airport have been damaged and will not open until 11am.
SH16 through Kumeu is closed due to flooding between Matua Road and Riverhead Road, and Waka Kotahi has reports of fallen trees and slips across the wider network.
MetService said heavy rain is expected to continue throughout Tuesday.
Neighbourly spokesperson Sarah Moore encourages people to check in on their neighbours - especially if they’re elderly or alone.
“But ensure you're abiding by Level 4 rules consider emailing, texting or using Neighbourly to send a message. Even if they're doing well, the connection will mean a lot,” she said.
“When there's a break in the weather carefully head outside to check whether anything is blocking your drains or has come loose in a storm. Don't rush - things could be slippery. If you do notice damage make sure you take photos in case you need to lodge an insurance claim.”

Ambulances and police officers are on the scene, as well as reports of the police Eagle helicopter in the area. Footage posted to social media shows people scrambling to get out of the mall, screaming and yelling. Police have confirmed they are at the scene, and the video's caption suggests a firearm is involved. A staffer at Lynn Mall Pharmacy says a person coming to pick up a prescription ran in and alerted them someone in the mall might have a weapon. She says they closed their shutters to keep everyone inside safe - and have been in contacted with another pharmacy in the mall which is also locking down.

I am working from home during Level 4 but I can still help you. Some ideas I have are:
1. collecting your groceries for you,
2. walking your dog for you,
3. or even walking with you (we can wear masks and walk 2m apart and still chat),
4. or I can just come along to your letterbox and bring my thermos of coffee and we can sit 2 m apart, with masks on, and simply chat.
I live in Blockhouse Bay but I have a car so a wee drive to you is just fine too.
Yvonne.

To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.”
Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
Two is also pronounced the same as to and too, but it can’t be used instead of either of them because it’s a number.
