Hi Neighbours,
Another gorgeous Autumn day for us 🍂🍁 in Dunedin 😊. The first time I heard this saying I instantly loved it! In my humble opinion it's a huge source of self-confidence when you live life from principles dear to your heart 💗. Sometimes we don't and we tell ourselves it doesn't matter because "no-one will know". We've just discounted ourselves completely though because there is one person who will know and that is ourselves. Nathanial Brandon's book 📗 "The Six Pillars of Self Esteem" set me on a path of personal responsibility that lead to an enormous increase in my self confidence. And those around me began responding in kind. Personal development is a very empowering tool that has given me the courage to live life on my terms. Which reminds me of another saying I heard recently "if the only tool you have is a hammer - every problem is a nail" perhaps less effective ?

Why the sand at two Dunedin bays has turned red

A rapid influx of washed up krill on our coasts is providing an unusual but welcome sight for beach goers.

The gregarious squat lobster, otherwise known as munida gregaria, is commonly found in shallow waters along the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island. They drift over shallow tides and settle on beaches when they sense the bottom. Once the tide moves out, the krill are exposed and often look like red sand or water on the beach shoreline.

The swarms have been abundant recently in Otago, where large gatherings have been seen in Broad Bay and Edwards Bay in Portobello, near Dunedin. Read more here.

Dunedin is pushing for a suburban rail service and an inland port as part of a Government review of rail for the next decade.

The report is expected to include options for using mothballed infrastructure after it was announced operation of the Taieri Gorge Railway, a popular tourist venture, would be suspended.

The preferred site for an inland port is at Milburn, in South Otago, which could be used to freight more export-ready items via rail.

The Dunedin City Council is also supportive of launching commuter rail between Mosgiel and the Dunedin Railway Station, which is owned by the council.

This is an update:
To everyone who's waiting for the cuttings: very sorry as none of them turned out successful. Even the tiny roots from the rose cuttings disappeared when i checked in on them this morning.
i'll try again next time when they are in need of a prune.
