I just moved to Christchurch a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to introduce myself! My name is Julia, and I am a plant-based chef and Hatha yoga instructor. If you are interested in having me prepare any vegan or vegetarian meals for you, either in your home or mine, please get in touch! I can also teach healthy cooking classes for adults or children, and I can cater special events and dinner parties, and even make cakes! I teach Hatha, children's, and prenatal yoga as well. If you've been wanting to improve your nutrition, incorporate more plants into your diet, or increase your overall health and well-being, I would love to help you achieve some of those goals!
I will be teaching ten-week term classes of Hatha yoga at the beginner (6 pm) and intermediate (7 pm) levels on Tuesdays, beginning the 25th of July, at the Bishopdale YMCA, so feel free to sign up for either of those. As I start adding in more public classes, I will enter them into the schedule tab of my website, so you can always check there to see what's being offered. You can also always schedule things with me privately and directly! My website with more info is www.juliagrueskin.com...
Thanks so much, and I look forward to meeting you soon! :)
Heard today from someone who works for HNZ that our great mayors sister just bought up a bunch of state houses to use as private rentals. These homes are already occupied. She got them for $250,000 each which is really cheap. This is back door dealing and was wondering why where not offered to … View moreHeard today from someone who works for HNZ that our great mayors sister just bought up a bunch of state houses to use as private rentals. These homes are already occupied. She got them for $250,000 each which is really cheap. This is back door dealing and was wondering why where not offered to those living in them first. Was told she had the choice of all at same price regardless how big and what state. She chose the best. Talk about corruption. Used the fact her sister is mayor of Chch to get in through back door

I had to get a new battery for car and then lost my navigation system. It had all radio stations saved etc and have lost all that. Also i need the navigation system to work to be able to change the digital clock which I haven't been able to do. I know I can take car to Honda and get them to look at it but would be quite costly so wondering if anyone else has any ideas?
Copied and pasted on behalf of Virginia from Spreydon (who is Nate's Mum). Like she said if we all just pledged $5 dollars they would easily get to their goal and beable to start this venture. How exciting for them and for Christchurch.
Can we do it as a community and help this get up … View moreCopied and pasted on behalf of Virginia from Spreydon (who is Nate's Mum). Like she said if we all just pledged $5 dollars they would easily get to their goal and beable to start this venture. How exciting for them and for Christchurch.

Hi to all you wonderful Neighbourly folk
My son, Nate, and his wife, Alyssa, are working hard to raise $25000 to help start the first every cat cafe in South Island right here in Christchurch!
They only have 1 week to go to raise the last $8000 and so I'm spreading the word about their crowd-funding project where people can pledge from just $5.00. Every pledge has a corresponding reward. Pledges will only become donations when the $25000 goal is reached.
Every pledge will be greatly appreciated and help to make a wonderful new place for people to meet, have a cuppa and something delicious to eat and interact with Cat Rescue cats and kittens - you could also give a special, forever home to one of the cats or kittens that will be available for adoption.
Check out the Catnap Cafe crowdfunding project and facebook page in the links below.
Many thanks
Victoria
