Hi Neighbours,
As we approach summer we are reminded of the change we are seeing in our New Zealand seasons.

We can all recall the images of the impacts of extreme recent rains in urban Auckland and rural Canterbury. As summer temperatures warm and the season gets longer and longer, the cooling degree day analysis and heatwave days can help you to prepare for such events.

Climate Insights has added two new variables to its Residential Property Climate Risk Report: tropical cyclone and tsunami risk. Information is knowledge. A Climate Insights property report on your residential property also includes tips on what can be done to improve the resilience of your property and householders to emerging weather and climate risks. It only takes minutes to generate a report for any address.

Foxgloves in my garden, looking good! Some more of the flowers have opened since yesterday. Also, yellow roses (open since yesterday, or maybe even the day before that) and hollyhock bushes (pink and white) in full flower. 😃 Also, more cherry-ice-cream begonia flowers open too. 😃

Right, here we go ... unleash the flying monkeys🐒😠

We have just returned from our friend's home. He is an elderly gentleman.
He is very proud of his garden and boy oh boy he has stunning roses and fruit trees. So much work and time goes into this glorious garden.

His generosity is well known to those who know him and also strangers he meets along the way.
People knock on his door all the time and ask for some fruit or of they could have a rose off his bushes. He will always give them generally what they have asked for and maybe an extra item or two.
To say that he will share the shirt off his back is an understatement, he will share what he has in the garden to anyone who asks.

Well imagine, if you can, his shock and anger to wake up to a noise he heard outside (late afternoon) and to find 2 women - 1 daughter and her elderly mother with a large bucket in hand, stripping his fruit trees.
Their large bucket was 3/4 full.
When confronted, the women pleaded ignorance, couldn't speak English (so they said) and then proceeded to tell him, "Well, everyone does it and why can't they?"
Our friend almost busted a gut at this response regarding them stealing fruit off his trees, on his section.
He told them to take a long walk off a short pier (not these words by a long shot).
They shrugged their shoulders and carried on picking and this is where he lost his cool.

He shouted at them to leave or the Police will be called.
They walked off his section and down the road, so they live locally.
It makes you wonder if this is the first time they have done this?
I think not.

My gripe is PLEASE DO NOT HELP YOURSELF TO ANYONE ELE'S FRUIT IF IT'S ON THEIR SECTION - IT'S THEFT!!
If it's hanging over the fence, well that's borderline, but the tree is still the property of the owner.

So PLEASE, take a moment, knock on the door and just ask.
Chances are you will get more than what you asked for, maybe a new friend in the end.

Stealing off someone who is struggling, is DISGUSTING!
I can only hope that the karma bus is on it's way to these 2 despicable women.
You both should be ashamed of yourselves for stealing off an old man - ASHAMED!!!
