OMG!! Yet another new variant is on the W.H.O. watch list

Fiona from Henderson

We need this possible new variant called Mu, like we need a large hole in the head!
As it possibly has a constellation of new mutations, it could make this new strain resistant to vaccines😲
Its already appeared in approximate 39 countries thus far, including Europe, UK and USA, since first appearing in Columbia in January 2021.
Now, at the back of my mind, I knew that this Corona virus was going to continue to mutate as time went by, however, as I've just had my first dose of the vaccine, I think that the timing of this news is ... argh!!!
Add this one to the list of things to watch - oh great🙄

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
