We could easily lose what we have gained. Our success, or failure, depends on the decisions that we’ll each make alone – but which in turn – will affect all of us.
Two weeks then a review
• On 11 May, we will review our progress and decide if we can safely continue to step down restrictions, or if more measures are required to protect us all.
• So the decisions we each make now, matter. Because every interaction we have is an opportunity for the virus to spread.
Keeping safe at Alert Level 3
• At Alert Level 3, the best way to keep those around you safe, is by keeping your bubble small. Interact with as few people as possible. Less people equals less risk. And continue to stay at home whenever you can.
• We should each be making the minimal number of trips. Be sure to stay local, and only make necessary trips.
• And importantly, work and learn from home if you can.
Let’s do this
We’re a team of 5 million. Formidable. And we can do this.
So thank you New Zealand for making the right decisions, when it really counts.
Instead of normal, we will have virtual services and online events, all from our own living rooms, balconies and driveways.

No matter our current circumstances or any inconvenience of being stuck in a bubble, we should remember - now more than ever - that it is an incomparable luxury compared to what our men and women suffered in wartime.
Click here to find a pdf of a poppy - by award-winning illustrator Sharon Murdoch - to print off and stick in a front window - To show that even in lockdown, in our small bubbles, we shall not forget. That we can still say thank you for the sacrifices, we can still pay tribute to the bravery of so many.

The animal welfare leagues do a great job;
But I thought I would try a more deserving, personal approach first for Silk.

But I thought I would try a more deserving, personal approach first for Silk.
Silk needs a loving, patient, caring, dotting, cat orientated family To love & care for her:
That takes steps To enforce & maintain her safety & well-being at all times
* Take SIlk To Cat Protection League Feline Fix/desex, worming etc Program
* Not being exposed To busy roads
* Bringing her in at night
* Gradual Integration and inclusion into the family fold before being released & having freedom.
As you know, I managed To track Silk from 8th February 20 & catch on the 8th April. My feeding program since citing her certainly paid off; Silk adapted well, having a gentle and loving nature, playful, intelligent & communicative.
I cannot keep Silk unfortunately!!
* My old cat Rose is stressed and depressed and hides & sleeps all day, she's exhausted protecting her territory!!
Secondly : Rose has always been an indoor cat and accustomed To outside recreational caged areas
Silk is wanting more and wanting To be free!!!
Plus, having her own space!!!
Silk is such a good natured little girl, she really deserves the best where she can be her own we person and have more environmental choices!!!
PLEASE CAN YOU ADOPT SILK!!!
Only genuine people please
Thank you!!

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.
What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?
