This morning's earthquake was a magnitude 5.9 earthquake followed closely by a 5.3 near Porangahau in the southern Hawke's Bay. You might feel some aftershocks – this is to be expected, but remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold for any earthquake you feel.
Shakes like this are a good reminder to make sure we are prepared in case of an emergency. Our friends at Wellington Region Emergency Management Office have lots of great tips or visit our website for more – www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

As a post script to that, some unidentified person put another anti-mask wearing leaflet addressed to me personally. If people feel so strongly about their views they should identify themselves.
This time I have received an "anti-co-governance" propaganda booklet in my "addressed mail only" box. I have emailed a complaint to the author - Julian Batchelor and asked him to identify the people or persons responsible for delivering the booklets.
I am going overseas soon and don't have time to get into any lengthy debates as happened last time. However I felt Neighbourly members needed to be alerted to the fact that this invasion on my privacy has happened again. Wendy Grylls
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Kei warewaretia tātou – lest we forget.
Hi. Anyone else out there with teenagers sitting their restricted driver's license finding that they are being failed by the inspector for a trivial thing like asking them a question that has nothing to do with actual driving. Finding it more and more with people I have been talking too.
