Others of you may be "a book about a dog, how totally mad, she must have officially lost it." In which case I completely understand. For I once viewed dog owners with much suspicion. The way they obsessively talk about their dogs often using voices for them to reply; the way they have a light covering of dog hair all over their clothes and sofas; and worse, an alarming comfort and ease around excrement. But I now get why people become so mad about their hounds. It wasn't instant love I have to admit. Getting a puppy when I was at a low ebb in my life wasn't easy - there was a lot of challenging, what I call, dog administration (dog-min), and the humiliating first trip to the vet still haunts me. It's been a bumpy old road, but Peggy has been lovingly by my side through some life-changing moments and I wouldn't have coped without her. Most surprisingly she has taught me a huge amount - not how to get an old pie packet out of a bin and lick it (I could already do that), but real lessons about life and love and trust and friendship.

It comes from the government of course, but it really comes from the people and the businesses of NZ. I buy whatever I can from the people contributing to my pension - NZ owned shops and businesses, the hard workers and the innovators - sending that cash back into the local economy. I feel good about that. Thanks and hang in there folks, better times are coming.
Winter isn’t usually associated with pottering about in the garden. However, it’s possible to grow, harvest, and share a bustling winter crop.

As we have celebrated Matariki and the beginning of the Māori New Year, for winter gardeners it’s the right time to cultivate crops that thrive in cooler temperatures and to prepare the soil for future planting.

Our Libraries have teamed up to host Taura awa – a joint community effort to weave tī kōuka (Cabbage tree) fibres into ropes that will guide our native whitebait through artificial structures such as culverts, helping them complete their migration. This project is the inspiration of Ōtaki weavers Sue Barrett, Denise Parata, and Mohi from Waikanae ki Uta ki Tai.

Our daily average was 13.1, last year’s 14.4C. But there’s of course still two weeks left and it could still reach the longtime monthly average of 13.8C, although last year’s ended-up at 14.1C.
Several very light frosts have been officially recorded at the airport; last year there were none. However, I had ice of about 2mm thick on my birdbath on July 10, and there were tinges on neighbours’ roofs several times. Sunshine was around average.
However, it’s the shortfall in rain that continues to be a concern as winter progresses and we approach another summer with low soil moisture. If we had received even a small percentage of the rain predicted by our forecasters we would be in a good situation. So far this ‘wet week’ has produced 6mm! The 30mm was had on day one of the month seemed like a good start, but since then ―14 days later, there’s been barely a trace.
