Yes you do! Our Triple Cheese Mini Muffins are the perfect snack – just the right size and shape for little hands.

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.

For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!

Many in Christchurch should have chlorine-free water in May

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Public water-saving measures appear to be paying off with much of Christchurch likely to have a chlorine-free supply again in May.

However, based on progress up to Tuesday, more than 150,000 water users will have to put up with chlorinated water until at least the end of June, when an ultra-violet… View more
Public water-saving measures appear to be paying off with much of Christchurch likely to have a chlorine-free supply again in May.

However, based on progress up to Tuesday, more than 150,000 water users will have to put up with chlorinated water until at least the end of June, when an ultra-violet treatment plant is due to be commissioned.

Council water supply improvement programme manager Helen Beaumont says the council has not yet "given up on the May target" for taking chlorine out of the city's water supply.

Hot spell coming to an end with cool down for many over next two days

Just a handful of places around New Zealand officially had a "heatwave" this week, despite the often record-setting hot weather.

On Thursday it was Hanmer Forest in North Canterbury that topped the temperature charts, with a stifling maximum of 38.4 degrees Celsius, according to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.

That was the hottest temperature there since records began in 1906, the fourth-equal highest temperature for January of anywhere in New Zealand, and the hottest temperature of this summer so far.

But while most of the country has sweltered over the past five days, the hot spell experienced by many has actually fallen short of official heatwave status.

Another lovely adoption story. Any idea who rules the roost here....lol. Also shows the benefits of double adoptions, if possible.

‘’Update on our delightful duo, now 4 months old, Salem and Luna we adopted 26th Nov. Oh gosh I dont even know where to start lol Salem plays fetch with poms poms, he loves to be held like a baby and smooches faces with an open mouth lol Luna is the explorer, first to do anything with no fear, she was the first to jump into the fridge, first to climb the massive 12 foot tree I have in my yard, terrifying me lol she loves early morning cuddles, like 2am cuddles lol if walking she lyes on your foot smooching n flopping around like a fish. I no longer have net curtains or plants but I the renovations thanks to the kitty crew are totally worth it. They get along fabulously with my wee dog Pickles and are just adored by my daughter Paige n I. They've enriched our lives so much ❤

My parents also adopted a brother n sister from Cat Rescue 5 years ago 😊 my two are completely different he is in your face for loves and wants them whenever where as she is only on her terms and when she wants loves most affectionate wee girl. He has dog traits such as fetch n is clumsy, she is 100% tree climbing, bug hunting feline n so delicate plus very sneaky. They're hilarious and we waste so much time watching them. Hard to think we've only had them in our world for only two months cos we've loved them for a life time ‘’


If you are also looking for a rescue cat/kitten to adopt Cat Rescue use the following three avenues to advertise kittens ready to find there forever homes.:-


1.  Trade me - Cats to adopt
2.  Pet Central stores in Christchurch take in CR kittens for adoption
3.  Catnap Café also have CR kittens and cats for adoption.


Thank you.
