With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?
Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.
Happy raving NZ!

Just wanted to check in with our community again in our 3rd week of lockdown. We hope you and your families are all well and managing to get the supplies you need.
Good luck to all those parents with school restarting today, our teens are online with video calls for classes so huge demand on internet. Of course there were afew teething issues today with first classes of the day but the girls are getting there and Shan has very limited time to make noise in between.
Pip our advertising dog is loving extra attention with her people home 24/7 and Otto our pup actually started crying when he was put in create the other day, like he normally would when we go out, when we went for a walk around block without him.
A little reminder CHCH Bull Rescue posted at a similar time to stick with routines with your dogs of time outside alone or in crates if that's what they would normally do so when life returns to normal they dont have separation anxiety
Remember Elusion is providing essential Electrical service cover throughout this time. This means power, heating, ovens etc. If in doubt just ring. We are happy to give out phone advise as well.
Patrick is currently out installing a new heat pump for a client who's heat pump completely died and there is no other source of heating available. I have to say after 3 weeks of little jobs only it seems very empty without him at home.
Feel free to request quotes on non urgent jobs you need doing after lock down and book in jobs. We currently have a list of jobs in order to book in once we get go ahead that non essential jobs can happen.
Keep well everybody, stay safe

With the current restrictions we aren’t able to print or distribute at the moment, but we are working hard on a fantastic May issue for you and it will be on sale as soon as the restrictions ease! I am hearing from so many readers right now about how their gardens have never been more important to them than they are now, so I want to ensure you get your NZ Gardener, packed with beautiful pictures, expert advice, inspiration and information as quickly as possible, so you can enjoy your own garden even more. Meanwhile, when you do your next shop, we’d love it if you could pick up a copy of the April issue which is on sale now (you can add a copy to your online shop too). As you’ve probably heard on the news it is a tough time for magazines right now, and we are incredibly grateful for the support of our regular readers and (especially!) our subscribers. If you are in a position to subscribe, or share your own love of plants and gardening by buying a subscription as a gift for someone else, then we’d be incredibly grateful: mags4gifts.co.nz.... Stay safe and enjoy the extra time in your garden everyone! Jo

"I thought an activity for children with a positive message about the current situation would be a good idea. This followed my (and everyone else's) experiences during the earthquakes," she said.
"I learnt that it is important to give children a way of feeling empowered that there is a solution to the situation (in this case the bears catching the Covid virus and giving it a damn good soapy wash)."
Lynette normally works as a tour guide for Nature Quest, taking people on tours around the North and South islands with nature-related themes such as birding, general nature, plants, or walking.

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.
If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.
ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.

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.
