Weather has been great and daylight saving is fast approaching, 29th September at 2am.
This means light nights, barbecues, night time walk. The longer nights allow gardening time and lawn mowing which can free weekends to have family times.
Enjoy the weather everybody and look forward to the extra daylight hours.
Stay safe.

As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to work alongside a former refugee family as they begin their new life in Dunedin. You can be involved in setting up their home before they arrive, helping them enrol with schools and doctors, showing them public transport, and many other things that we may take for granted as locals.
We provide comprehensive training and a tailored support network to ensure our volunteers are well prepared to provide support to newly arrived families. We still have some spaces available on our next training programme which starts Friday 20 Sept at 5.30pm.
For more information or to apply for this programme, please contact Belinda Le Lievre, NZ Red Cross, Dunedin Service Centre on 03 477 1527, or via the Red Cross website: www.redcross.org.nz...
Dunedin is blanketed in smoke as fire crews battle a large scrub fire in the Flagstaff area.
Five helicopters were called to help fight the blaze, and Police are assisting with traffic control. All walking tracks have been closed and people are asked to avoid the area.

Don Alexander, 84, lost his ring while packing up crates of donated lemons and grapefruit destined for the elderly in Dunedin.
