This weeks SPCA pet is Cruise.

"Hey, I'm Cruise and like my name suggests, I am a very chill dude who is happy to make friends with both humans and dogs. I am confident, curious and full of beans when I'm not by your side or enjoying some zzz's. I would make the ultimate exploring companion for the outdoorsy type and I am bound to keep you on your toes with activities all year round. Still being an eager young lad, I have been learning how to walk nicely on lead and how to stick close off lead for some excellent hiking adventures. I thrive with the company of other dogs and am wanting a canine brother or sister to go home to as I don't want to be left alone for the day. I'm not suitable for a home with young kids but I love to meet all sorts of people. Unfortunately I'm not able to go to a home with cats or small animals. I'd make a great family dog or a companion for a solo owner. I am a boy who loves to cuddle up against you and enjoys going on outdoor adventures with you and your existing dog."

There is a season (tern, tern, tern)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
We can thank Pete Seeger for the song and Louise Thomas for the picture, and description of a black fronted tern.
"Continuing on with the rare terns that have been randomly turning (terning) up on the Kāpiti Coast, this is a juvenile black-fronted tern/tarapirohe (Chlidonias albostriatus) - a bit of a standout among the white-fronted terns because of the orange legs (and smaller body). As he gets older his beak will turn orange too. In breeding plumage the cap goes black all the way to the bill. They are apparently reasonably common in the South Island and have often been recorded wintering around Wellington, but this is my first time spotting one. Plimmerton on Sunday. Bird #61 in 2022."

With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.
Hi Neighbourly folk. You would have seen an article in your local paper on Mary Potter Hospice. It is a really tough time for charities at the moment and hospices, like Mary Potter, are struggling.

You would have seen an article in your local paper on Mary Potter Hospice. It is a really tough time for charities at the moment and hospices, like Mary Potter, are struggling.
Is it right that they have to rely on people like Kāpiti real estate agent Doug Palmer to raise funds? He has been raising money for Mary Potter for about 20 years.
During that time, he estimates he has helped raise about $75,000, raffling fish caught in a fishing contest.
The wind tonight has taken one of my small white mesh VegePod hoods from my Margaret Shields Avenue garden. I have looked up and down the street but cannot see it. It is curved and about 1 metre long by .5 metre at apex. If you have seen it please could you let me know. Thanks Kay
