Catsitter wanted for Labour Weekend
Hi Upper Hutt!
I've had a house/cat sitter for 20-23 October (Labour Weekend) unfortunately fall through so I'm looking for a catsitter to come and stay with my two rescue kitties, Maeve (black and white) and Luna (tabby). They grew up in a colony before being taken in by a cat rescue and are still pretty weary of people at first so any sitters must be willing and able to come and meet them and me before the sitting dates please.
I have a lovely 2 bedroom house in Trentham/Wallaceville, pretty close to Upper Hutt city (about a 20 min walk) and Wallaceville train station (a 10 minute walk).
Looking for a quiet non-smoking sitter, preferably a single person as that's what the cats are used to. They are shut inside at night and are pretty good at turning up for dinner (I shut the cat door before feeding them) or coming when their names are called or treat bags are shaken (if they're just having a really good time outside!).
Bonus if you can water and keep an eye on my (novice) gardening efforts, which will generally be feline supervised if they're still outside.
After Labour weekend, I do have a few more sets of potential dates for sitting, including at some point over the Xmas/holiday period, so finding someone willing to discuss/look at future sitting dates would be lovely for continuity.
Please message me if interested and available, as well as with any questions.
Thanks!
REWARD AND NO REWARD
TV One has two regular sub programmes that rewards ndividual do-gooders with a $10,000 payment to do whatever with or simply pocket. The recipients also reap promotion and publicity for their particular charatible etc work. wanted or not. The other gives nothing but a spot on television and perhaps assitance of publicity and promotion.
In many programmes I have watched of the latter the difference between the money winners and the no-money winners is blurred beyond reason. I sit there thinking why didn't that person feature on the other programme and receive a sponsored cash reward?
Shame on TV One.

DEMOCRACY FALLOUT, FAILING
One watches in horror as the democracy of the USA is all to quickly dismantling. The Supreme Court is the latest in a long line-up to go really rogue. After years of being tampered with politically.
Of course would-be dictator, corrupt and criminal villain Trump and Trumpism has opened up a festering wound that is probably too deep now to successfully patch up.
NZ has not got the American system of democracy thank goodness and has often been internationally ranked first or in the top three as the world's most democratic and least corrupt country in the world.
But there is cuttings at the edges of our democracy not the least displayed by the current Government. Examples are breaking election-gaining promises and even in the one they kept - tax cuts - by borrowing more than the defeated Labour-Green Govt has to cement in the financial shortfall of the tax reduction, and by going further in cutting out thousands of jobs in the public sector which also impacts on the private sector.
