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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
