Summer is a great time to spend time away - but it's not so great when you have to share a tent or room with someone who snores. Stop the complaints from friends and family by getting fitted for a Snorex.

Snorex is a custom made anti-snoring device. Fitting over the top and bottom teeth and made of a soft plastic, the Snorex is discreet and easy to travel with - no bulky masks or machines. It works by holding the jaw forward, opening up the airway and stopping snoring. Made in Stokes Valley for 25 years, each Snorex is custom fitted for comfort and efficacy.
Being custom made it does take time to complete each Snorex, but booking a fitting in before Christmas means that in January you can start having years of snore-free nights.
For more information, or to check available dates for an appointment, go to www.snorex.co.nz or call 0800 766 739

"Pretty rapt to see a clutch of oystercatcher, chicks and their parents, on Wellington's coast tonight. The adult birds were back from last year, and have three young ones in tow.
The adult bird had just caught a worm and the competition was on, as to which bird would get a feed. The bird at the back is the runt, and was also the chick that was attacked by gulls.
It was also the chick that was not in any way defended by the parent birds, while the other two birds were well cared for. You certainly know which chick is the runt, when it runs only metres away from you, after being chased by a gull, and neither of the parent birds felt the inclination to attack me!
Life is cruel for a baby oystercatcher, however if you are the runt of the clutch, life is really hard!"
