They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.
Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.

No though or care for the people who have kindly donated and more so for the elderly and other folk that really really need it and rely on charity from the kind
Bloody outrageous and need taking down a dark alley if they get caught

With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?
Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.
Happy raving NZ!
IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT I HAVE TO MENTION THE LOSS OF A FEW FURTHER LOCAL BUSINESSES AROUND OUR TOWN.

The bra manufacturer has gone bust,
the specialist in submersibles has gone under,
the manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation,
a dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers,
the suppliers of paper for origami enthusiasts has folded,
the Heinz factory has been canned as they couldn't ketchup with orders,
the tarmac laying company has reached the end of the road,
the bread company has run out of dough,
the clock manufacturer has had to wind down and gone cuckoo,
the Chinese has been taken away,
the shoe shop has had to put his foot down and given his staff the boot
and finally the laundrette has been taken to the cleaners!

With the current restrictions we aren’t able to print or distribute at the moment, but we are working hard on a fantastic May issue for you and it will be on sale as soon as the restrictions ease! I am hearing from so many readers right now about how their gardens have never been more important to them than they are now, so I want to ensure you get your NZ Gardener, packed with beautiful pictures, expert advice, inspiration and information as quickly as possible, so you can enjoy your own garden even more. Meanwhile, when you do your next shop, we’d love it if you could pick up a copy of the April issue which is on sale now (you can add a copy to your online shop too). As you’ve probably heard on the news it is a tough time for magazines right now, and we are incredibly grateful for the support of our regular readers and (especially!) our subscribers. If you are in a position to subscribe, or share your own love of plants and gardening by buying a subscription as a gift for someone else, then we’d be incredibly grateful: mags4gifts.co.nz.... Stay safe and enjoy the extra time in your garden everyone! Jo

So here’s a couple.
Baking powder mix:
2 tbsp baking soda
2 tbsp cornflour
4 tbsp cream of tartar
It’s better (and cheaper) than the bought stuff. Use it the same as commercial baking powder.
Ciabatta
500g plain flour (about 3 1/2 Cups)
1/2 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp dry yeast (check the back of your fridge for a forgotten jar. It lasts forever there)
1 1/2 tsp salt
450 ml warm water (tap is fine)
Olive oil
Mix your dry ingredients together (preferably in a bowl)
Mix in the water (don’t worry about being gentle)
Rub oil all over, around and under the dough with your hands (think wet play dough)
Cover the bowl with glad wrap or a tea towel and leave to double in size (takes about as long as a movie, so go watch one)
Preheat the oven to 200C
Pour the sticky mess into an oiled and floured tray (a big one), or into an oiled and floured loaf tin (or whatever oven proof dish you like.
Just remember, the wiser it is, the flatter it will be, the less time it will take to cook.
Cook for 30-40 minutes. If you want a softer crust, put a dish of warm water in the oven to steam the dough. I like it crusty.
To check if it’s ready, lift if out of the dish (don’t use your hands, unless they’re made of asbestos), knock on the bottom, and listen for a “hello possums!” (or a hollow sound).
Enjoy. It will go a little dry if kept out, but it toasts like crumpets. Yum yum.
These snaps, taken this hour, show why the spread of the Covid 19 virus is spreading so fast in the USA.
These are aircraft in the air.
Comments welcomed.

Rotorua police 🚨 did a fine job of setting up road blocks out of the township but many were still using side roads to escape. Also noticed that here in hastings too.... People don't realise that the ones who are staying home to save lives are the ones looking out our windows watching and seeing people do these things.... Not to be nosy but because there isnt much else to do!!! We are all going to suffer cause some prick wants to self isolate in their holiday home. Shame on you!

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.
If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.

People are losing their jobs because companies cannot keep going because of no company income.
People are losing their business because they are required to follow level 4 lockdown.. And you who live at this address feel you have a right?? If other neighbours close by know who they are please name and shame... Because if I did.. I would!!
PS. Have filed a police covid 19 complaint
Hi All, I hope your staying safe in your bubble. It is important to support local business's now and after lockdown. Here's some places you can get good food online.

Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.
Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.
Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.
