Lower Hutts oldest Teddy Bear

Blue Musical Teddy Bear over 70 years old.
He became worse for wear in the 1970s, mother took him to a doll hospital in Hawkes Bay, and the returned Teddy was NOT this bear. We complained but this teddy was GONE for good.

Director-General of Health, Ashley Bloomfield’s strong presence fronting updates about the COVID-19 pandemic, is an example of the importance of being able to command an audience, be an effective communicator, and speak with confidence.

Using self-paced learning, Toastmasters undertake an educational programme that promotes these competencies, and also teaches effective listening, thinking on your feet, leadership skills, and giving and receiving constructive feedback.

Amid lockdown, many of New Zealand’s Toastmasters clubs have transitioned to holding their regular meetings online to allow the continuation of personal and professional development while providing social interaction.

The tiny screw fell out of my glasses today and is lost.
Am legally blind says my drivers licence/optician.

Rang my optician to learn they are NOT essential, and when you think about it, they are really close to the patient for eye tests, frames and business.
I found a small safety pin and bluetac to hold the pin out of eye level. Not wonderful but will do for quite some time according to my optician.
