This week, watch out for Tom Yum Fried Rice, Mango Moroccan, Haus Carrot Cake, Rasberry Roll, Tiramisu! Someone asked for Dutch Beef Croquet (yes, you know who you are 😊 ). Our family has a few versions of these but ok, let's just start with that one first, yes?

On another note, we will be doing Council stuff on Thursday 2 Jun so will close whole day. What a waste but hey, any of you Barista and/or Bakerman, rafft euch auf und kommt her! 😉 Otherwise it's just us doing all the work so we need more hands on deck!

In any case, to make up for that, we will trial a Sunday opening. More of the Queeny Hols Hours coming up so keep an eye out on that one. If there's local support for it, boom! We'd do it all for the love of Good People in weeks to come. How does that sound?

Something a bit different this week. I am not sure where Chilli is from but her owner Joy is very proud of her.
"This is my 25year old Chinchilla called Chilli. She is a Standard grey colour, and she is the sweetest wee girl, who loves her cuddles and snuggles with Mum, and loves pats and tickles from all of our family. Its very very rare to have a Chinchilla who loves to be touched as much as she does. She is a rescue who came from people who didn't know how to properly care for her. Her favorite treats are dried Red rose petals, dried rose buds and most of all, her Apple sticks. I love her so much."
Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say which suburb you live in.

"I was going to leave the tūī for my checklist until the kowhai or flax were flowering later in the year - you know, for the poses, but this guy just about landed on my lap in the Herb Garden at the Wellington Bot Gardens - he's on a stake by the curry plant, which funnily enough, really smells like curry. He was singing up a storm in the pine trees before swooping down for a quick sniff. Bird #83 in 2022."

Our crews are responding to a burst water main between Tangere Drive and Whanga Crescent, Titahi Bay.

Whilst our crews work to repair the burst, we have arranged for a water tanker to go to the shopping centre at the corner of Te Hiko Street and Takapuwahia Drive. Affected residents can go and collect drinking water anytime from 8.30AM.

The burst water main has begun to drain water from the Titahi Bay drinking water reservoir. We are asking all residents in Titahi Bay to conserve water now to avoid emptying the reservoir before repairs are complete. You can do this by taking shorter showers, holding off doing the laundry or watering the garden.

Our team are on site now taking urgent action to get this pipe repaired as quickly as possible.

We will be providing regular updates on the status of repairs and the reservoir levels.

In the midst of a cost of living crisis, Porirua City Council has committed to paying its staff a fair wage.
Council staff have been paid the living wage since 2019, but last week council voted to formally apply for accreditation through Living Wage Movement Aotearoa New Zealand.
It means council will continue to pay the living wage as it increases annually.
Porirua Mayor Anita Baker supports the Living Wage.
The current living wage is $22.75 an hour which will rise to $23.65 in September – more than 10% higher than the adult minimum wage of $21.20.
Do you agree that council staff should be paid the Loving Wage?

Since I arrived here at the SPCA, I have been in foster care with my lovely foster mum, who has showered me with love and affection, and has allowed me to let my personality flourish. I melt the hearts of everyone whenever they come in to see me, even my caregivers. My favourite things to do during my day, is to sleep outside on my bed on the verandah (even when it's a bit chilly), and when it's sunny, I like to follow the sun. I would love to go to a home where there may be a big backyard I can lay in during the day (when I'm allowed outside), or somewhere that gets a lot of sun during the day. Because of my long fur, I will need help maintaining it, especially as I get older. Luckily I enjoy having my fur brushed. I will love to be able to spend time with my new family during the day, helping out in the garden, or sitting with you on the couch watching a movie together. Because I am an older girl, I do have arthritis. This means that my joints can sometimes be a bit stiff. I may not do well in a home with a lot of stairs, and I may eventually need help getting up onto things. If you have room in your home and heart for me to live out my retirement years, please make an appointment to come in and meet me. I do come with medical waivers my new family will need to be made aware of, but we can chat about this when you come to meet me “
