Bowel Cancer

Bowel cancer can strike at any age. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined. But it is treatable – and beatable – if detected early enough. Check your symptoms

Spring

Gordon from Papamoa Beach

"The Spring is sprung,
The grass is riz,
I wonder where the birdies is?
They say "The bird is on the wing"!
But, that's absurd!
The Wing is on the Bird!!"

"The Spring is sprung,
The grass is riz,

They say "The bird is on the wing"!
But, that's absurd!
The Wing is on the Bird!!"


When does Spring arrive in Papamoa?
Some say 1 October,
Others say 1 September,
I say - 1 August,
Why?
1. The grass is growing,
2. My Gravillias are flowering - and have been for the last two weeks!
3. The Hedges are luxuriant! - I cut them yesterday!
4. We live in a Coastal environment, not like Queenstown...Brr...!



Anyone who denies what I am saying, just doesn't live in PMA!!
