Memories of life Covid 19

Sandra from Normandale

Memories while in Covid19 Lockdown.
----------------------------------------------------------

2 smoke alarms with flat batteries weeks apart, late at night.
Mouse in the Kitchen, dashing to supermarket to buy traps/caught.
People much more sociable [with distancing] than normal.
Set up email contacts with 20 neighbours round robin.

NOW Level 3.
Too many cars out speeding/cruising while people are walking.
No queues at supermarket.
Petrol tank still full after 6 weeks.
--------------------------------------------------------

BEST of all events during LOCKDOWN.
Computer contact with family overseas.
AND being alive to tell the tale.

------------------------------------
WORST not having nor wanting ONLINE banking.
-----------------------------------
WHAT short story do you have to recall as we live through history.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens

Karl from Alicetown

It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
