Kia ora Neighbours, I've had my first encounter with the Covid-19 tracking system, after becoming a "close contact" during a morning bus ride. Now the question is, do I get straight back on the bus? Would you?

Construction on the highly anticipated highway is expected to begin this year, for completion by 2026.
If Waka Kotahi proceed with tolling the road, there could be different toll prices for peak and off-peak hours. The prices could vary between $1 to $4, with heavy freight paying more than light vehicles.
Three toll points on the road are being considered, meaning motorists will only have to pay for the parts they use. Those who don’t wish to pay the toll may still access free alternative routes.
Waka Kotahi national manager of infrastructure delivery Mark Kinvig said the toll would go towards maintaining the road to keep it “safe and resilient”.
“Variable tolling helps people make choices about when they travel, and therefore the toll price they pay. It will also reduce travel times on Penlink during peak hours,” Kinvig said.

Hi Neighbours,
Can anyone recommend a good tutor for my daughter commencing her NCEA level 2 Maths (Calculus). She wants a female tutor though. We live in Red Beach so hopefully someone on the Hibiscus Coast. Happy to go to the tutors place (if on Hibiscus Coast) or at our home.
Cheers

A light brush with the nettle on your leg or arm, can leave you with a tingling sensation that persists for 24 hours.
Ongaonga has been linked to unexplained deaths of people walking through a dense patch and being overcome. With this mind, I decided to have a go cutting back a particularly annoying patch on our main track to the paddock we call, Waterses.
The Ongaonga bushes were above and below the track so I had to form a strategy so that I would safe. I found a large set of old tree branch loppers (giant secateurs) in the shed and then opted to take a piece of cloth, that used to cover our cool display cabinet in my old café.
This easy DIY project finished in Resene Waterborne Woodsman Pickled Bluewood provides a roosting and resting site for a rare and threatened native bat.
