dastardly lady fungfu wabbit, YuanYuan escapes again

Rick from Hauraki

I can't believe it, we picked her up from the kind lady in Clifton Road, hauraki yesterday and kept her indoors overnight then fortified our deck this morning which worked fine for a couple of hours but she somehow managed to get out.

Given that yesterdays retrieval was the second in two weeks, logic tells me that she will go exploring around Hauraki/Takapuna again, maybe even today. if you see her please message me Rick 0204-0203663 or email me at: richardgeary1954@live.com

I have attached some photos. It is safe to pick her up briefly - she will not strike out. Pick her up by approaching her from behind and use a praying mantis approach with your hands grasping each of her front feet and your forearms and elbows supporting her body length.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
