Hi everyone,

This year Anzac Day will be different.

In the midst of a pandemic, dawn Services are off the cards but Kiwis can still pay their respects on Saturday morning.

We are encouraged to stand at our letterbox, front door, balcony or essential place of work at 6am to remember the sacrifices service men and women have made for New Zealand.

How are you planning to mark the occasion?

If you are busy making poppies, decorating your home or something similar, we'd like to hear from you to contribute to our coverage of the event.

Email senior reporter Lawrence Gullery at lawrence.gullery@stuff.co.nz to get in touch.

Stay safe everyone.

Help I have a hole in my ceiling

Dianne from Hamilton East

Today while vacuuming, I discovered a hole about the size of at least an inch in diameter up in the ceiling next to my chimney......there is no other evidence of holes, anywhere else in that ceiling and it has never leaked or had any damp.

Today while vacuuming, I discovered a hole about the size of at least an inch in diameter up in the ceiling next to my chimney......there is no other evidence of holes, anywhere else in that ceiling and it has never leaked or had any damp.

Has anyone any ideas of what I need to do; my thoughts are that the gib would need to be replaced, at that spot, half a sheet would do it......would this be the way to go?

Any advice would be much appreciated
