Hi all, This is probably a long shot.. I was just wondering if anyone might have seen Azzy. He has been missing almost a year now, and I was hoping during the lockdown he may have been noticed, possibly seen, settled down somewhere or whatever. Please phone or text 0272030283 if you think … View moreHi all, This is probably a long shot.. I was just wondering if anyone might have seen Azzy.

For the past two months, there’s been a huge demand for food parcels from local charities around the country. Find out what we’ve been doing behind the scenes to support these charities who are helping New Zealanders get back on their feet.
(PS – we want to say a special ‘thank you’ to all of you who have made a donation at your local store. Your generous support is helping keep New Zealanders fed.)
During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.
One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

F - Face - Is it drooping on one side?
A - Arm - Is one arm weak?
S - Speech - Is it mixed up, slurred or lost?
T - Take Action - Call 111 immediately.
Think F.A.S.T., act fast, and keep looking out for each other.
Thank you, from the Stroke Foundation of New Zealand.
Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.
But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.
While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.
Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?
Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.
You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

A cosy one bedroom apartment at Huntleigh Retirement Apartments is available now and waiting for you.
Recently renovated to the highest standard in the central Wellington suburb of Karori, this one won’t be around long.
Make the most of independence of living, but without the hassle. No need to worry about the rates, insurance, maintenance this winter - we’ve got it covered.
Additional services also available.
Now is a good time to consider getting a home ventilation system for fresh filtered air during the winter months ahead.
The heavy rain over the weekend sure kept our crews busy!

They got out there responding to surface flooding, removing blockages and pumping water away from properties that were being threatened by flooding 🌧 Also great to hear a bunch of positive feedback from residents for our folks who were out in the storm taking care of business yesterday.
Shout out to those who took our suggestions on clearing out sumps in their streets – this definitely makes a difference 🍂
After talking to the great folks at No. 6 Cafe in Raumati Beach, I've been thinking (don't laugh).
Why don't we bring in a 'voluntary' 10% donation on all coffees until the end of the year?
Hopefully, this would help the cafes we love to recover from the grievous blows … View moreAfter talking to the great folks at No. 6 Cafe in Raumati Beach, I've been thinking (don't laugh).

Helen and I are happy to do this. How about you? Customers could just add 'pay it forward' or something similar when they ordered.
If the Lockdown has shown us anything, it's shown us just what we can do when we combine to tackle a problem!
