Do you know any 'Boomerang Babies'?
In previous generations, children left home at 18 years old and became independent. Now with student debt and the increasing cost of renting and buying a house, we are seeing the rise of the 'Boomerang babies' who stay or move back home for well into their 20's. Is this good for our communities and have you noticed it in yours?

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Lost cat - Mt Eden
Still missing my girl 😔
Evie is a 13 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.
Please take a screenshot of this post so you have photos and my number handy in case you see her.
She likes people but might not let you pick her up so please take a video or photo if you see her and call me asap on 021 072 0933 (Anna).
She’s quite lean and small to medium size. When she’s happy she ‘talks’ ❤️ De-sexed and microchipped.
Last seen in Mont Le Grand Rd, Mt Eden. Please check your garage, shed, garden and under deck and house.
Apparently cats who are hiding don’t meow so please look carefully even if you don’t hear her. Thank you so much 🙏
