This weeks SPCA Pet of the Day is Scarlett the cat.

"I have come such a long way from the scared frightened little kitten found on a farm with my sister. I am now looking for a wonderful home where I can continue learning about this big wide world.
I will be quite worried in a new environment, so I will need an understanding family who is willing to give me the time to adjust. I would benefit from someone being around for parts of the day or another like-minded cat for company. I try to be brave and once I know you, I will really enjoy your company. I will just need time to get to know you. I really love the attention I get from my caregivers, so I know that in time, I will get to really appreciate you too."

Whittaker’s has turned the chocolate world upside down with its new innovative new Peanut Butter and Jelly 250g Block.
Whittaker’s co-chief operating officer, Holly Whittaker, says having more than one filling in a block is a first for Whittaker’s and something a bit different from the way other chocolate flavour combinations are produced.
Recently named the Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand for the tenth consecutive year, Whittaker’s also celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. It will be available for a limited time only in supermarkets nationwide from Monday June 21.
Are you going to try it and are there any other flavours you would like to see combined into one block?

Immerse yourself in a sound healing journey like no other as David and Belinda use the power of voice work and crystal singing bowls to take you through a balancing of the masculine and feminine energies.

We will use crystal singing bowls designed to resonate at the healing frequency of each chakra to move through your energy centres; clearing, cleansing and aligning your entire system. The crystal singing bowls raise your frequency and energy, and you will leave the experience feeling rejuvenated, energised and buzzing.

Sound healing is a form of easy focused meditation, and creates the inner environment for your body to heal itself. There is nothing for you to do except lay back and enjoy the experience.

A study, published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine, found that one session of sound meditation helped people reduce tension, anger, fatigue, anxiety, and depression while increasing a sense of spiritual well-being.

Beginners welcome, no experience necessary.

PLEASE BRING: yoga mat, cushion for your head, and a blanket for comfort. (We'll have a few spares)

Date: Fri, 2nd July
Time: 7pm - 8pm (6:45pm arrival)
Venue: Wellington South Baptist Church - Hall
284 The Parade, Island Bay

Comfortable seats available. Easy wheelchair access.

Bookings essential: www.theoracleshopnz.com...

Poll: Would you like to see the regional council own the buses in Wgtn?

Wellington's regional council will this week lobby the Government to let it own and run its own buses in what would be a move back to the 1990s.
Regional council chairman Daran Ponter confirmed the council would this week make a submission to the Government which - assuming councillors agreed on Thursday - would call for a change in how public transport was tendered for and operated.
The key change would make it much easier for councils to buy and run buses rather than sending them out for tender. It would not necessarily mean councils retaking ownership of buses but would make that an option.

A new email scam impersonating the NZTA is being sent around telling vehicle owners their licences are due.

The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.

CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).

How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website

Neighbourly will update this message as further information comes to hand.
