Hey neighbours,
Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.
Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.
In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.

A push to use Levin’s Māori name Taitoko has stalled and the councillor who backed the move says she’s surprised at the negative reaction to the idea.
In 2018 Horowhenua named its draft town centre strategy “Transforming Taitoko” and councillor Victoria Kaye-Simmons said it would also be nice to acknowledge the town's traditional name.
It has not featured since and Kaye-Simmons a faced backlash after speaking out.
What's the traditional Māori name for your town, and would you support its use?

Therefore needs to be an only pet.
He is getting on in years so doesn't need a lot of exercise, but does need a lot of attention. A retired person who could spend time with him would be ideal.
If you would be interested in giving Wally a better life & would like to meet him please send Paula an email.

i would lift the microwave, i do not want you to pay for a delivery fee. We went home, and i took the old microwave away and the box of the new microwave, she was delighted. These may seem like small things but as we age, things like these are not easy and should not have to cost extra. At Care 4 You if we have a solution to a problem, we will go the extra mile, and it will not cost extra. Contact Suzanne for any Caregiving / Driving / Companionship Services, Ph: 021 024 36944.
