Support our Yuri Bear Project
Knitting needles are clicking across our villages and the wider community for the Yuri Bear projectđ»â€ïž.
Weâre aiming to knit 20,000 teddy bears for children displaced as a result of turmoil in their country.
Weâve been overwhelmed by the response so far, but 20,000 bears is no small ask!
If you can knit, know someone who can or would like to find out how you can help, please click on the link below.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to âexuberanceâ? đ„
In The Postâs opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weâre âallergic to exuberance.â
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 itâs 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 pĆhutukawa tree in my garden.
I donât know where itâs come in from, but itâs in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
Iâll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
