What happens to our spine when we age?

The Chiro from The Chiro - Upper Hutt

This is a phrase we hear often in practice, and is one that requires a little bit of exploration and explanation. In this blog series, we will cover the … View more

Friday Feathered Friend

As usual some lovely words and photo by Louise Thomas.

As usual some lovely words and photo by Louise Thomas.

"There have been some epic grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) battles in the back garden the past couple of weeks – well, as epic as it gets for something that weighs in at 6g. What I assume are three males have been wittering away and chasing each other around quite a small area when they disagree about who won the singing competition – little flashes of aerodynamic grey fluff battling for supremacy of the Acer palmatum conveniently sandwiched between a camellia, a kowhai, and a robust trellis covered in potato vine they seem to like climbing in. Having grey warblers in permanent residence here in Woburn, Lower Hutt is quite new (at least in my garden), with them only having turned up earlier this year. I hope they don’t exhaust themselves before they get to do any actual courting. This was taken last week, it is pouring with rain today so a temporary cease fire has been called. Fingers crossed they nest here."

Pascall Pulls Punches

Michael from Trentham

Bought a packet of Pascall Explorers ( billed as "the coolest lollies around" ) from the supermarket as part of a mixture for a lolly cake.
The packet says e150g which I take to mean estimate of 150 gram inside packet.
Well the packet weighed in at 114 gram.
Pretty poor, eh?

Pascall's changed the name of the product from Eskimos to Explorers a short time ago.
Maybe I should email the company in Australia.

All those eligible should be, must be vaccinated against Covid 19. It is the only way out of this mess.

Compulsory/mandatory vaccinations will come eventually I am sure at least in many occupations and industries.

A legitimate vaccination and covid tested passport will be issued eventually and will need to be produced for entry to many places and transport.

The weight of believeable science and proof of success of covid vaccines are too great to deny any further.

Let's help each other (neighbourly) and ourselves by getting vaccinated. We have the best vaccine on the "market" and it's available free. It will combat to an effective degree all the known strains of the virus.

Main Climate Change Causes in NZ which we can do something about are the four Cs:
Cars
Coal
Cattle and cows.

Electric or at least hybrid vehicles are the answer. Government needs to do more to encourage the transition from petrol and diesel fueled vehicles where possible and cutting ALL taxes associated with car purchases would be a help to reduce those overinflated purchase costs.

Get rid of all coal usage and close all coal mines is something the Govt could enact.

The Govt should place more scientific resources into reducing the methane gases that cattle and cows emit. Encourage less consumption of beef is worthwhile. There are alternatives to cow's milk and pet food and treat products need not contain beef and beef by-products.

We as individuals in a small populated country might not be able to do much towards reducing climate change conditions but our Government can make a little difference on a world scale.
