It’s Christmas… and someone is missing
Christmas is a season of good cheer and precious family time. But for some, the joy of Christmas can be overshadowed by the sad memories of someone close who is no longer there. There may be one less stocking hanging on the mantle, and one less place set at the table.
There is something you can do. If you know someone who has suffered a loss, get in touch with them this Christmas; give them a call, invite them around for dinner or drop in with some homemade baking. Show them you care… because it’s Christmas.
Our team at Bay Cremation Care would like to thank everyone on Neighbourly for being a valued part of our community and for supporting our business this year. Have a joyous and safe festive season.
Meeting Partners and friends.
A while ago I contacted Neighborly about the possibility of setting up a page for people who would like to meet others for friendship or possible partners. The beauty of this is that the people who would reply will be people who live near the area of the particular neighborly group. That is why the old singles ads were so good, and I have heard some newspapers still run the same service. But so far, I have not heard from neighbourly regarding my idea. The dating sites are expensive and disappointing. Neighbourly could provide a free service which would also provide a level of protection from players and rude photos, and the swipe left or right mentality, as neighbourly has the details of anyone using the page. They would be no more liable for anyone's safety than other services offered. Please let neighbourly know if you would like to see this service offered. 😻
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.9% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.4% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
