Just wondering if this is a 'thing' or if we need to get … View more

Just wondering if this is a 'thing' or if we need to get this checked.

I understand this due to lack of water to quench their thrust in todays sudden hike in temperature. They are flying like fainted, and found one dead in my front lawn. As a help, I put a tubful of water in my backyard. Would like to know our neighbourhood about this similar situation.

Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.

The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!

What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.
