People rent out baches, rooms in their houses, their garages and car parking spaces, so surely hiring out swimming pools is the next logical step.
A new app lets people hire their private pools by the hour, but it hasn't come to New Zealand - yet.

Hi neighbours,
We're to keen to know if pot plant and garden thievery is still a common problem and what people are doing about it.

Most important thing is that they are filled with love
Little tips about sending someone love in an envelope this year...
- Make sure your card is filled with love.
- Make it as creative as you can.
- Ensure it has a legible message (if a child’s words are illegible, please write in brackets underneath).
- Keep your envelope unsealed to give the rest homes discretion to check cards if they choose.
- You could start the card with "dear friend" or "to someone special"
- Try to avoid religious quotes - your recipient may not be religious
Just be you!
Deadline for cards 8th December.

Please spread the word, tell your family and friends!!

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.
Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.
Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.
The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

I said would call him back.
He said his name was Mark William and the pnone number he gave for me to call back was 09 88927663
I rang ANZ Visa and they said this was a scam that they would not call about any such thing and if they did it would be an 0800 number not a private number.
I rang the number he gave and as soon as i answered the phone was hung.
Please be aware do not give these people any details at all.
