Can you spare two hours to support people who are fighting Breast Cancer?
Hi there Hawkes' Bay people – seeking your help – we are desperately short of collectors for the Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon Appeal in Hastings – could you spare two hours to help support women who are fighting breast cancer?
The dates for 2021 are Friday 29 and Saturday 30 October and we are all set to collect at these sites:
• Bunnings;
• Countdown;
• Mega Mitre 10 (this year listed as two doors: MM10 – East Door and MM 10 – West Door);
• New World Hastings (this year listed as two doors: NW Hastings Heretaunga St Entrance and NW Hastings – Hastings St Entrance);
• Pak ‘N Save; and
• Unichem Pharmacy Stortford Lodge (fingers crossed for a big Lotto prize that weekend).
Registrations are now open and so you could do any one of the following to register for this year:
• you could go to the web site - www.breastcancerfoundation.org.nz...
• or I am more than happy to assist if you contact me – either send a message here or email susiemcc@xtra.co.nz
Please ask your friends and family to lend a helping hand – blokes are more than welcome – remember – men can get breast cancer too!
Collecting is a doddle and those of you who have collected before know that people are generally very happy to contribute to this important cause.
Just send me an email if you have any questions.
I look forward to working with you all – in the pink: a scarf, a skirt, a bow-tie, earrings, a whimsey, a wig, a t-shirt/jacket/jumper, pink feather boa, pink bowler hat – some / any / all of those!
Regards
Susie McCutcheon
Pink Ribbon Appeal Co-ordinator for Hastings

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

New neighbour
Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
