After 3 weeks, Darcy has been found!!

Tanja from Riccarton

EDIT:
Darcy has been found tonight and was handed into Straven Road vets!!
He is skin and bones, but apparently ok, just settling down now.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the kind person who took him to the vet!
And also thank you to everyone who has kept an eye out for him and had kind words for me when I was searching.
You are wonderful people!
I will take the posters around the neighbourhood down in the next few days.
Wishing everyone a night as good as mine!
Tanja

Kia ora!
My buddy Darcy forgot to come home four nights ago. We recently moved to Pūriri Street. He is a black and white tom and about 17 years old now. He can get frightened and disoriented and needs medication for his heart. If you see him around, please get in touch.
He has no collar but is microchipped.
My number is 021 024 44478.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

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!
