OMG!! Yet another new variant is on the W.H.O. watch list

Fiona from Henderson

We need this possible new variant called Mu, like we need a large hole in the head!
As it possibly has a constellation of new mutations, it could make this new strain resistant to vaccines😲
Its already appeared in approximate 39 countries thus far, including Europe, UK and USA, since first appearing in Columbia in January 2021.
Now, at the back of my mind, I knew that this Corona virus was going to continue to mutate as time went by, however, as I've just had my first dose of the vaccine, I think that the timing of this news is ... argh!!!
Add this one to the list of things to watch - oh great🙄

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!
