"I am an awesome girl who just needs an awesome family! I can be a bit nervous of new situations, so I am looking for a quiet and predictable home with teenagers or adults that can build my confidence and play with me. I would love to spend my days exploring the garden, going on adventures, and after a day of playing with my doggy friends, have a comfy bed to rest up in with lots of cuddles and treats. I am very strong so an experienced owner would suit me best. I would love to go to training classes and work on loose lead walking. If this sounds like you then please contact the canine team."

A basic medical kit should include the following:
Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, a thermometer and re-hydration medicines like Hydralyte. Sore throat treatments such salt gargles, honey, or perhaps a local anesthetic lozenge or spray could also be useful.
Also think about having a plan as to how you get basics like bread and milk if you are isolating. Have you talked to neighbours about how you can help each other?
Thanku neighbours for the quick response I got from you in regards to a family needing towels.There will be a few in the Pataka on tues left over from your generous giving.Thanku again.

Here are some tips on how to get the best use of a mask.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a mask that fits well won’t have any gaps and will prevent air from flowing from the area near your eyes or from the sides of the mask.
“If the mask has a good fit, you will feel warm air come through the front of the mask and may be able to see the mask material move in and out with each breath.”
People with beards can use a mask fitter or brace to help the mask fit tightly over their face.
When wearing a disposable mask, the coloured side – usually blue – goes on the outside, and the edge with a piece of wire, or something similar, in it goes over your nose. The coloured side is water-resistant, while the white side is more absorbent and will suck up droplets and aerosols produced by the wearer.

As a member of the Applied Developmental Lab in the School of Psychology at Victoria University of Wellington, we're inviting 5-12 year old children from all around New Zealand to take part in the GRACI Project. We are running this study to investigate children’s understanding and use of conversational rules that may be used during interviews with them about past experiences to help them manage difficult questions. If you were interested, we would set up a Zoom video call with your child (you can be present). They will be read a short story and answer questions about it, and will be asked to talk about their morning. To thank children for their time and participation we offer a $10 voucher for the Warehouse or Paper Plus at the end of the session.
If you are interested, click on this link vuw.qualtrics.com... to read more about the study. You can sign up there if you would like to take part!

How prepared are you for Omicron? it’s a good idea to prepare your home for the possibility that someone you live with may contract the new Covid-19 variant, Omicron.

If you do test positive, you will have to isolate for at least 14 days in your home, or other suitable accommodation.
Household members of anyone who is infected will need to remain in isolation for at least 10 days after the positive case has been released from isolation.
Omicron can be in your system for a while before symptoms appear, and it’s unclear how infectious you might be during that time, so having a plan in place before you need it can help make your home as safe and comfortable as possible for everyone living in it.
