It's been a mixed summer so far for New Zealand. Much of the country has seen record breaking temperatures, drought-conditions and scrub fires. But in recent days the West Coast and Southland have experienced heavy rains, flooding, evacuations and closed roads. Our thoughts are with affected.

Our skies have been coloured by smoke blown over from the Australian bushfires, meanwhile Wellingtonians are just stoked if they get to see the sun.
How has your summer been?

Are your knees giving you a hard time?
See how Peter Williams found help from using a NZ made relief cream.
After retiring from our TV screens after 40 years, veteran broadcaster Peter Williams, still gets up at 5am each weekday morning to prepare for his morning radio show.
Peter Williams explained, “Look, I’m 65. When I get up the body’s often a bit on the stiff side. “
Peter Williams claims, “Within 10 minutes, the pain was gone. I felt so much better. My body was nice and relaxed, and I was ready to go off and do my day’s work.”
“I’ve been using Relief Fx by Koru Nutrition. It’s New Zealand made, natural and best of all it works .”

Our waterways and the life they support are important to lots of people, and I want to understand what you think should be done to make sure future generations are able to enjoy and protect our freshwater.
We need your help in protecting the health and mauri of our waterways, which are under pressure from increasing population. We need solutions that require real change in the way we interact with water if we want it to be safe for our kids. And we need to think long-term about how and who pays for these solutions.
Want to join me on this journey? Connect with us to talk about what we can do together. You can reach me at whaitua@gw.govt.nz or connect with me through Linkedin www.linkedin.com....

I’m looking for a forever home for my pretty boy Freddy.
I adopted him last year in April when Lette and Commy(my cats disappeared on me).
He is an outdoor cat with lots of spirit, love and affection, he’s a real home boy,doesn’t stray, basking himself in the sunny days of summer in my garden, on top of rabbit cages, or hanging out with the chooks.
Unfortunately, hes taken a liking to all my little pet baby bunnies earlier this year with various litters.
Freddy is an amazing hunter, he’s very clean and tidy and cleans up after himself, doesn’t leave anything behind, ie licks the plate clean, or no remains of whatever he has chosen to eat. He is well fed by me too, with a gourmet of cat biscuits morning and night, pet milk every now and then, veal and heart pet meat.
I would love hm to go to a new home, perhaps on a wonderful farm where he can keep the rabbit population under control.
Please let me know if you are interested in Freddy.
Kind regards
Paula
