Kia ora neighbours, a former Olympic-level athletics coach, who retired in his mid 90s, credits his long life to quitting drinking in the 80s and always having “plenty to do”, as he celebrates turning 100.

Arch Jelley, who coached athletes for over six decades, celebrated turning 100 on Saturday with over 100 friends, family and members of the athletic community.

For the last 20 years Jelley has lived at Pinesong Retirement Village in West Auckland’s Green Bay with his second wife Jean, the pair spend their days playing bridge both online and at the local club, along with playing lawn bowls.

“Turning 100 doesn’t feel any different than how I’ve ever felt – I think it’s just a bit of a shock when you first look at that number,” Jelley said.

My late model 5 star safety rated Mazda is used once a month, does approximately 1000kms per year, and is garaged securely.
The premium goes up every year, and the replacement value goes down.
It is costing me far more to insure the car, than it costs to run it.
I daren't just have third party because that would be tempting fate, and replacement would be too expensive.
I need the car to visit family out of town twice a year.
Anyone got any sensible alternative suggestions on insurance?

The Monarchs are coming!
It’s critical everyone know that when you have hungry caterpillars later in the season you MUST NOT depend on buying plants for food. You need to plant well in advance! Get plants well established before those first butterflies return. Buy or grow twice as many as you’ll think you need – you can keep some out of reach of the monarchs. Keep successive plants growing and flourishing.

I have plants in Henderson Valley the size of small shrubs. They have been growing for several years. I have to cut them back! I know of two people in Dunedin that have plants lasting for more than one year. Their plants are growing in a warm, sheltered part of the garden. So possibly, in cooler areas, you could get plants going this year which you can keep for later years?

If you are buying seed, now is the time to buy a packet or two and get the seedlings established in pots indoors.
