To all of the wonderful people down at the Henderson Vaccination Centre and all the rest nationwide, from the meeters and greeters, the admin staff, the vaccinators, the staff at the end and let's not forget the wonderful people on the Covid Hotline - 💗THANK YOU💗
For the hours you all put in, for the patience you have for all quirks and queries from us all, for all of the different languages you have come up against, for EVERYTHING you do and have done to make our time getting vaccinated such a stress free and reasonably pleasant experience.
Of course thanks should always go to everyone on the front line, but today all of the vaccination team ABSOLUTELY ROCKED!!!
From the people in the 'appointment' line when they should've been in the 'walk in' line, when people turned up not wearing a mask right to the elderly couple who wanted to carry on in their car to a carpark of their choice and almost taking you out - even though everyone was shouting and waving at them to try and stop them and let's not forget the black and yellow bar they were determined to drive through; you all took in your stride with a smile on your face (albeit hidden by your masks).
Your professionalism and genuine compassion as well as friendliness was most welcomed and noticed.
💐💗Thank you all so very much💗💐

Footage posted to social media shows people scrambling to get out of the mall, screaming and yelling.

"Everyone PLEASE be careful because people are going crazy from being locked down at home!
I was just talking about this with the microwave and the toaster while drinking my coffee, and we all agreed that things are getting bad.

I didn’t mention any of this to the washing machine, because she puts a different spin on EVERYTHING!! Certainly couldn’t share with the fridge, cause he’s been acting cold and distant!

In the end, the iron straightened me out! She said the situation isn’t all that pressing and all the wrinkles will soon get ironed out!

The vacuum, however, was very unsympathetic…told me to just suck it up buttercup! But the fan was VERY optimistic and gave me hope that it will all blow over soon!

The toilet looked a bit flushed but didn’t say anything when I asked its opinion, but the front door said I was becoming unhinged and the doorknob told me to get a grip!! You can just about guess what the curtains told me: they told me to “pull myself together!”☺️

We will survive 💝"

Confused?

NumberWorks'nWords Henderson

To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.”
Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
Two is also pronounced the same as to and too, but it can’t be used instead of either of them because it’s a number.

I have been saving tokens for months for a magazine competition that ends very shortly.
This was a snail mail only competition, and having not used snail mail for letters for a very long time, and it being lockdown, I managed to find a Christmas stamp value $1.30. Thought this would more than cover the cost. Stuck it on and posted letter.
Today I received it back with " insufficient postage" plastered all over it.
Your kindness and spirit NZ Post during this hard time is unbelievable.
You must be making a fortune on all the Trademe parcels which are being posted.
You knew it was an entry form because the envelope was opened.
Might be a good time to improve your customer service.

Food for thought🤔

I was talking to The Man regarding the vaccination rollout and how on earth the saline was used instead of the Pfizer vaccine considering the saline is in a completely different packaging and looks completely different - strange.
But then I had a thought, which I hope that I've missed it or that I'm completely wrong about this.
Considering that certain sectors of New Zealand are complaining about the lower numbers of those vaccinated, have they thought about vaccinating all those people in all of the hospitals nationwide?
That would protect all of those wonderful angels on the frontline and further patients when they are admitted.
Maybe they have already and I missed it, however, if they haven't, why not?

Did you know 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to come together to share ways to boost mental health and well-being. For example, you could host an online catch up or quiz, call a neighbour who lives alone, challenge your family and friends to try a new hobby or move your body more to improve your own well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for free support from a trained counsellor.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re looking out for your well-being and helping others with theirs this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
