They hadn't done much thinking since my first call 9Mar20. So septic tank owners .. we are pretty much on our own for now. But the phone line team leader did say that any household in isolation should call their septic tank contractors, notify them about the isolation so they can take appropriate precautions, and ask the contractors to clean-out the tanks.

As I look out down the valley here along Redoubt Road and watch the rain settle in I can't help but remember Auckland University Associate Professor Wiles' recommendation: form a support group with your neighbours so you can help each other. Here's the link: bit.ly...

Offering a peek behind the curtain, Ryman have released behind the scenes footage from their recent film. Showcasing their passion for life, Ryman residents from New Zealand and Australia feature in the film. Let’s meet the stars.

“If I hear music, I just want to dance – body seems to just move!” says dancer Audrey, 84. Poet Brian, 86, says “Poetry helps me to question and understand the meaning of life”, followed by a witty “– haven’t worked out what it means yet”.

As their residents blaze their own trails, Ryman matches that pioneering spirit. “Ryman villages offer living choices to suit everyone so that you can live the way you want.

Gone are the days of getting one qualification out of school to see you through your working life. Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder. 

We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills. 

Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz

Many of us have pets, some of us have horses, pigs, sheep etc And the autumn/winter rains are coming. Healthline had done no thinking about this. They rightly suggested I call Auckland Council. I did. They were surprised. Topic probably hasn't come up until now. They will get back to me today.
