Bubbles is home!
After 8 long months missing, my cat Bubbles has been found and is home again safe and sound. We are beyond excited and happy to have our lovely boy home again. Thank you for all the support over the past months, it was greatly appreciated during such a difficult time. It was so distressing not knowing where he was or what happened to him.
I know some of you will be looking forward to having a visit from Bubbles as he does his rounds in the neighbourhood, but for those of you who don't enjoy his visits, please give him a squirt with your garden hose as he really hates that and it just may deter him from coming back, or if you have a water pistol, keep it loaded and in a handy location for quick easy access to squirt him. You never know, you may actually enjoy it! Feel free to contact me and I can supply you with the water pistol if you like this option. I know he can be a nuisance and I understand your concerns, but please remember he's not just a cat to us, he's family. Please be patient as we are not here long term and will be leaving the neighbourhood once our house is built.
Bubbles will be locked in over night and we'll do our best to keep him home during the day when we are home.
And finally, for those of you with missing pets, please, never give up hope.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
56.9% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?
Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
