Hi Neighbours, If the Defence Force planned to hold an exercise near you, during Covid-19 lockdown, what would you want to know? NZDF is giving little away about one starting tomorrow in south Auckland. Good enough? Read the story below:

From NZTA: "If you are on a footpath with your cycle you should be walking with it, unless you are delivering mail or are cycling a wheeled recreation device that has a wheel diameter less than 355 millimetres (normally a tricycle or small child's bicycle)."

It is against the law to cycle on a pedestrian walkway unless it is clearly shared walkway, half for cyclists and the other half for pedestrians. In the last few weeks of Alert Level 4, I have narrowly avoided being hit by adult cyclists (in groups) while out walking on several occasions now. There is VERY little traffic around at the moment, so there is even less reason for cyclists to not use the road for their daily outings. Putting others at risk at this time is not only breaking the law of road/pedestrian pathway use, but also breaching the requirements of Alert Level 4. Anything that puts yourselves or others at risk is a breach.
Hi there! We had a different kind of surprise for Easter. When we reached out in the pantry to surprise our toddle with a chocolate bunny, we discovered it with tiny teeth marks and it’s head gnawed. Definitely a mouse!

When we reached out in the pantry to surprise our toddle with a chocolate bunny, we discovered it with tiny teeth marks and it’s head gnawed. Definitely a mouse!
This is the first time we noticed something like this. Luckily our 4yo didn’t mind the mouse getting the treat but we’re obviously not to keen on the company. Think they might be nesting in the garage (it’s an old rental so not the most sealed basement and garage) and we think we see some droppings there 👀
Any ideas on what we can do? And leads on pest control options in this lockdown? Should the landlord be looking into this as well?
Thank you and happy Easter!

Here are some tips we've put together below:
1. Keep your weight down
Obesity is linked with osteoarthritis (loss of cartilage in the joints), which commonly affects knees and hips. Carrying too much weight can also lead to varicose veins. Varicose veins are not life-threatening but they look unsightly and can be painful.
2. Walk
Exercise is very important for the health of your legs. Walking is an excellent way to tone the muscles in the leg, reduce body fat and improve circulation. Aim to walk 30-45 minutes daily, this can be done in bursts through the day.
3. Put your feet up
Standing or even sitting all day can lead to swollen legs and ankles.
Being inactive causes circulation problems. Normally when you walk, the blood is pumped back towards your heart and swelling is reduced. Putting your feet up for just ten minutes a day can help.
4. Check for changes in moles
The leg is a common area of the body in which malignant melanomas can develop. Be vigilant and check regularly for any changes in colour, size or shape of moles.
A yearly mole check with your GP is recommended.
5. Eat a healthy low-fat diet
Sometimes described as your 'second heart', your leg veins help pump blood back up to the heart. Nutritionally, the same rules apply for healthy leg vein circulation as for a healthy heart. Cut back on saturated fat and sugar, make sure you have enough fibre in your diet to maintain normal bowel motions.
Commencing from 28 April:

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.
Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.
