For delicious grass-raised beef New Zealand is the perfect combo. An ideal climate, lush pastures and innovative farming produces enough beef for Macca’s in New Zealand and around the world.
Our patties are 100% quality beef, and all that’s added is a dash of salt and pepper when cooked.

I'm thinking of taking the wine box back and laying a complaint.
It said, 'Once opened, it will last for 6 weeks'.
It only lasted 3 HOURS!!!!

After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve.

"So, how is everything going?" inquired God.
"It is all so beautiful, God," she replied. "The sunrises and sunsets are breath taking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem…
It's these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They're a real pain."
And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc. She felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more 'symmetrically balanced'.
"That's a fair point," replied God, "But it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away."
And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.
"Well, Eve, how is my favourite creation?"
"Just fantastic," she replied, "But for one oversight. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has her bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone."
God thought for a moment and said, "You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you. Let's see.... where did I put that useless boob?"
Now doesn't THAT make more sense than the rib story?

This new glass-bottomed train in China is designed to look like a Panda.
The new lithium battery-powered train cars is part of an effort to bring more sustainable public transportation Chengdu, the capital of China's Sichuan province.
Each train carriage can hold 120 customers, and from the looks of this video posted on YouTube, it might even be conducive to getting in a little remote work on the ride.
This new train system is essentially a suspended monorail whose cars incorporate floor-to-ceiling windows and glass bottoms to allow for 270-degree visibility.
That, coupled with its perch above the city's treetops, makes for views far better than what you might find in an underground labyrinth of train lines.

Now, as you all may have gathered from previous posts of mine, I'm all of getting vaccinated to lessen the symptoms that are the nightmares we all called Covid (or Delta).
I would love it if everyone got vaccinated, however, that's never going to happen.
While I may not agree with the anti- vaxers or the people who choose not to get vaccinated (not including those who have medical conditions), I do respect your choice as I would like to think you would respect mine to get vaccinated.
Here in the Pacific region of the Southern Hemisphere, certain parts of Australia have risen in continuous protests on their streets, N.S.W. & Victoria. Sadly the latest rounds in Victoria are against the mandate to force the building sector to get vaccinated otherwise they aren't allowed on site.
I've been thinking of what compromise would there to be to not hinder what is essentially an essential business.
And then it came to me. Italy, just last week, has laid down a new law for these trying times and is due to take effect on 15 October 2021.
It's a great compromise to both sides of the fence of vaccinations.
What the Italian government have done is they've adopted one of the strictest Covid measures in the world last week, requiring all public and private sector workers to have a vaccination certificate, a negative coronavirus test or a certificate that they have recently recovered from the infection.
The goal of the move is to persuade people to get vaccinated and reduce the infection in one of the most affected countries by the coronavirus pandemic.
However, I personally believe that this is a great compromise for those who will not or cannot vaccinate - just provide a negative Covid test.
Apparently, a worker who won't be able to present a valid health certificate will be suspended without pay but cannot be fired.
Those who ignore the ordinance and come to work without any of the required certificates will be fined between 600 and 1,500 euros.
The idea of Covid certification was initially related to travel, but Italy very quickly started to apply it to places like museums, gyms and the interior of restaurants.
Although there have been protests against the measures in recent weeks, most political parties as well as major employers' associations have backed them, hoping there will be no further closures of the economy.
Italy, after Britain, has the most coronavirus-positive deaths in Europe, more than 130,000 since the start of the pandemic.
About 74 percent of 60 million people received at least the first dose, and about 68 percent were fully vaccinated.
As I said, it was just an interesting thought I had spinning around in my head.

New Lynn Primary has been offering online juggling classes to bring together students, families and teachers.
Principal Greg Roebuck said it has been a great way to keep everyone connected.
“We have been looking at ways to support our students and whānau,” he said.
“The focus for us is on connecting wellbeing and physical movement as a way that can positively impact during this stressful time.”
Teacher Neelesh Desai said it is a welcome change to regular lockdown zoom time.
“It was great to see so many of our students getting involved with their whānau and having the opportunity for teachers to take a break,” he said.
“This gave us an opportunity as teachers to have fun with our students, focusing not only on their wellbeing but also ours.”
The workshop was created with Circability, a community-focused circus programme, in collaboration with Sport Waitākere.
What do you think should be introduced or reintroduced as part of the curriculum in modern day schools?
I am looking for some one who can assist me with paddock fencing in Swanson. Thanks
