Kia ora,

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 4th of October in Zampelles coffee shop in Johnsonville Mall at 2 p.m.

We look forward to seeing fellow stroke survivors and their carers there.

Did you know that in New Zealand about 9,000 people each year have a stroke. Some 2,000 die from a stroke; about another 2,000 are left severely incapacitated, about another 2,000 have considerable disability and the rest have some disability or nearly recover. Nobody recovers completely.
It is estimated that some 50% of strokes can be avoided with life-style changes.
Interested to find out what you can do to have a good chance to avoid a stroke??
Kind regards

Tony Biss

It is great if you don’t do a lot of sewing or are just a beginner. On the photo you can see the numerous functions and features it has and it comes with an instruction book and in its original box. It still looks like new. The adaptor still has an English plug, but if you need one , I have a brand new NZ one here you can have for an extra $5. Please PM me if interested to buy this or text me on 0272484333

"I managed to get some birdie time yesterday at Silverstream just in time before the wet weather set in! Spent a bit of time chasing an elusive kōtare but no shots unfortunately! I did get close to a few Goldfinches at one stage which is unusual as they are normally very skittish!
I discovered a shag high up in the trees near a playground too! A shame it was too dark to get a decent capture but I liked the shadow effect! Saw lots of ducks in the stream, I think that there were a couple of Australian Shovellers if I am not mistaken!
The first photos is of tui that I had earlier been stalking around my property. He had plenty to say to me...."

Diets and fasting never stopped me bingeing and vomiting

There was never a time I did not have a fascination for food. I regularly stole money and stole food thinking that it was normal to want to eat all the time. Many people must have gone without milk when I pinched the coins out of the milk bottles of people in my street, I would rush to the dairy and then have the agony of deciding what to buy. When I left home and got my first job, my very first pay went on packets of bite-sized chocolate bars which were hidden under my bed.
