Stories from the ANZACs

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

Dear Hawkes Bay - ANZAC Day will look a little different for us this year - however, there are many ways for you to acknowledge the incredible men and women who have served our communities and given their lives for our country.

We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below. It could be a story of a member in your family who served - or perhaps the way you and your family celebrate ANZAC Day each year. (It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).

We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.

Hi there Neighbours.

Ben Keehan here. If you haven't heard already I have been hard at work developing the contactless way for you to sell your property privately all in one app. I have taken all the knowledge from my years as a real estate agent and combined them into one app that you can access from any internet-connected smartphone, tablet or pc to not only create your property listing but sell it as well.

Features include:

A professional brand
Contactless Viewing with VR
Contactless Negotiating under the buyers and owners control
Full visibility into buyer communication
Multi-channel marketing
Interactive Signboards
Discounted Trade Me listings
Access from Smartphone, Tablet or PC
Smart Script Builder
DIY
OpenHomers by the hour

A complete system for you to sell your property like a pro with tools some of the big brands don't even use.

In my experience, there are several things wrong with selling your property privately (I listed & sold them as an agent), all that has now changed with the tools included with your FiSBO® property listing.

FiSBO® replaces real estate agents

If you have to sell your property think about us first with listings starting from just $299 FiSBO® is the must-have private sales kit.

Refer us to someone you know that lists with us to earn $200 Grocery Voucher find out more with the link below.

road traffic

Had my daily walk today again, [ yes out again Anne ], and in the same time frame as Sunday, when I counted 60 vehicles on the road, there was 65 whilst on Tues the comparative count was approx 62.

Although, without stopping every vehicle to prove their legitimate reason for travel, it does raise the question in my mind that with the food markets and pharmacies shut today where were they all going?
Please note those wishing to get onto an argument re the rights and wrongs this is just an observation of mine you don't have to prove to me why you were out and about in your vehicle.

You might be using more wet wipes to keep your home clean, but it’s very important not to flush them afterwards.

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.

Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.
