Dear Riverside Milk Family,

I regret to inform you that our good old Brunimat Vending Machine has had some serious electronic issues and will be out of action until we can procure the needed replacement motherboard from Brunimat in Switzerland.

I have contacted Mr Alfred Bruni about this today and urged him to make all possible haste with sending us the required part as we have so many loyal customers relying on his fantastic machine to supply them daily with pure fresh farm milk. We hope they will courier and airfreight the part as quickly as possible and, with luck, be back up and running again in 10 days' time. This would then be Monday 27th November.

I sincerely hope you can forgive us for this inconvenience and the probable necessity to consume pasteurised milk over the next two weeks, as I don’t think there is any other raw milk available on this side of Christchurch.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your past and continued support enabling us to continue operating to supply you with real unadulterated milk here at the top of the South.

We will confirm our reopening data as soon as possible.

Aroha Nui,
Tristan
Riverside Milk Manager

Downsize to a Richer, Happier Life

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.

Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.

No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.
