Well done for all those who have emailed to say their streets are coping well - That the neighbours are not in need of anything.

Remember, even under Lockdown you can go for a short walk or ride in your own suburb, its important to keep active!

We were advised by my friends sons who have been bricklaying in Prestons in couple of new houses towards the backend near to the Mairehau Rd end about three tiny kittens that were dumped in one of the houses.

If you are walking in the area please be on the lookout one apparently white and the other grey. We have managed to rescue one and is currently being cared for by the SPCA.

Please everyone there is no need to dump kittens the SPCA are an amazing organisation who were happy for me to deliver this precious wee kitten to their care.

If you are a walker then the area of the houses concerned is down Prestons Drive through to the second roundabout turn left then turn right and it is the 3rd street on the left.

They house they were dumped in is the second house on the right.

We are walking back daily and are trying desperately to save them and have been leaving pet milk and kitten food.

Thanks for reading this and I would welcome a message if anyone does find them.

I would be happy if you can’t take them to the SPCA or may be in lockdown able to care for them

Take care people

TV1 News

Peter from Aranui

Very disappointing to see on TV1 News tonight the blackboard fence encouraging people to come to one spot and leave messages on it.

We are ALL supposed to stay within our own bubbles!

Stay safe everyone.

Finding our Alert Level 4 routine

This week sees us all getting used to living at Alert Level 4. For this to work, we must all stick to the plan.

This week sees us all getting used to living at Alert Level 4. For this to work, we must all stick to the plan.

Stay home. It WILL save lives.
Let’s all remember why we are taking such extreme measures.
Staying home won’t always be easy. But the evidence tells us this is the best way to save the lives of other New Zealanders.

Finding our routines
It will take some time to build up new daily routines. That’s to be expected. We all need to be gentle with ourselves, and accept that things could be difficult for a while as we learn to adjust.

Looking after ourselves and others
Don’t forget to take time to look after yourself, and also to check-in on others. Asking someone how they are feeling is a good way to connect and show that you care.

We all need to stick to the plan
For this to work, and the effort we are all making to be worth it, we all need to stick to the plan, all the time. No exceptions.

Don’t move around
The virus is spread by us. So we all need to avoid moving around as much as possible. If you do go out for exercise or to get essential supplies, stay local. This is incredibly important. Don’t move between different areas.

Thank you for doing your bit
A massive thank you to everyone for working so hard to slow the spread of COVID-19. Together, we can and will save lives.
