Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.
Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

You can play a special part helping small businesses stay afloat during this time. Spread the word to your friends and family so that we can help as many local businesses as we can.

Police will be there for you if you call us.
If you are in immediate danger and can’t call 111, leave your house and get out of harm’s way. Get to a safe distance and then ask a neighbour over a fence, or a passer-by, to call 111 for you. Your safety comes first.
It’s everybody’s responsibility to speak out and keep each other safe right now. If you think something is not ok with a friend, neighbour, or colleague, it’s okay to call Police on their behalf. The person you’re worried about may not be able to speak up for themselves. You could be saving a life.

Know of a standout neighbour who is making a difference on your street or in your community?
Our big announcement of the day is that we are launching the Good Neighbour Awards! We decided that it would be a positive way to promote the message of neighbours helping each other and also recognise the acts of support and kindness we have seen over the past week or so.
Nominations are open to all residents of New Zealand who currently reside in the country during the lockdown. Each week we'll choose our favourite nomination as our Good Neighbour of the week. Both the nominator and nominee will each receive a $50 Prezzy Card and plenty of virtual high-fives, our small way of saying thanks for making our neighbourhoods a better place to live.
Nominations opened on Tuesday 7 April 2020 and will be running every week until lockdown ends. People are invited to submit a nomination by 7 pm on Sunday to be considered for that week's award. Winners will be announced on our website and on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on Tuesdays starting on 14 April.
It is easy to nominate someone. Just go to our website at www.neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz... fill in the nomination form and hit ‘Submit’.

I made the mistake of telling my husband an early symptom of COVID is loss of smell.
He's taken to passing gas in my vicinity & then I react, informing me he is helpfully "performing a health check".
He taught our two boys the technique.
I may divorce him.
