Hundreds of thousands of Kiwis who do not yet have both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine face a tightening of their freedoms on December 3, when the Government moves the entire country into the new “traffic-light” system.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the date on Monday, saying Covid-19 was not going to be eradicated from New Zealand.

“The hard truth is that Delta is here and not going away,” Ardern said.

While Aucklanders will finally see an end to New Zealand’s longest lockdown, those in other parts of the country could face far more restrictions if they have not been fully-vaccinated.

Do I need a new executor?​

Public Trust

Great question. Your executor oversees your will when you pass away, so it’s an important job. If things have changed for you or your executor since the days of cassette tapes and telethons, it might be time to appoint a new one. ​

"We were part of a group of guinea pigs that our family could no longer care for, so now we are looking for a new home together.
We are still getting used to being with people, so don't like to be picked up. Our confidence is slowly improving. We are very cute and great to watch. We will need a large grass area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. We need to come inside at night to spend time with our family, and to help us keep safe from the weather and other animals."

If we sound like the kind of new family member you have been looking for, please get in touch. 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.

FREE - must pick up (easy access, Brown Owl area)
3 piece lounge suite, antique style/shape. Definitely needs reupholstering but framework, cushions and shape all sturdy. The two armchairs have been on our covered porch for a year, and look it. The couch has been inside and covered with a blanket. Actually very comfortable, and perfect for someone into upcycling. Will go to the tip tomorrow if no takers, but they’re so unique we had to check if someone wanted them first! Pick up only, no holds.

In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen. Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.” 

Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.

"Over the last few weeks, Charlie and I have been keeping an eye on the progress of a bird's nest just by our house. Today, the nest was empty only 20 days later – the birds had all fledged and were hanging about like teenagers in the trees around our garden. Well done mummy thrush; you've been an inspiration."

Up to 30 Corgis are likely to line-up for the Black Hawk Wellington Corgi Race, to find the fastest Corgi - Pembroke or Cardigan.
The corgis are out to prove that furry, foxy and sturdily-built dogs with stumpy legs can indeed scamper at surprising pace.
The event will be held at the Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt on Saturday December 4 starting at 2pm. There will be at least two heats before the finalists battle it out.
The distance on the grassed flat surface is 60 metres. The winner will get a bag of dog food, courtesy of Black Hawk, and the honour of being the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club's fastest dog.
Last year, Freddy a Lower Hutt Pembroke Corgi owned by Alex and Joanne Wang took the honours in a close contest and Freddy will be out to repeat the effort again.
Anyone wishing to enter a Corgi should telephone 021 614 821.
