Age concern messaging
Does anyone know the procedure for reporting a dodgy message? I have received a Neighbourly message from some woman in Age Concern asking me if I am feeling lonely, which I object to. I don't think social media is the appropriate venue for questions like that, and anyway, who wants to know? This woman is not a health professional, has no accreditation and I think she has a real hide messaging me or anyone else with such personal questions. People can be prosecuted under the Health and Disability Act for doing stuff like this, you cant just rock up to people and start talking about their mental health with no qualifications. Even more interesting, I would like to know how she got my contact details, but no reply is forthcoming. The only contact I have had with Age Concern recently is through my participation in their recent survey. I thought this participation was confidential. Are they giving their participant lists out to marketing staff? I'm sure the ethics committee would be very interested to hear about this. I'm also interested to know if anyone else received this message, and what they thought of it.

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
