My wish is for my brother, in Fiji to visit me here in Whangarei. He is a tradesman too. I told him that NZ can pay him more for his work. He is a fit & healthy 46 year old, welder & fabricator by trade (has done a lot, high pressure/ tanks pipelines etc). He's done engineering work too. Also heavy vehicle maintenance in the Fiji gold mine. For community work, he's built lots of houses for whanau & friends (builder/carpenter). I have his CV with me and happy to email to whoever may request it. I've been in Whangarei a long time and my wish is for a whanau member to live with me or close by. My phone number is 0210684996.

Showering often re-regulates our bodies' flowing motion and aids in the stabilization of our body temperature. It allows us to cool down and relax after a long and exhausting day. Showering or bathing before bedtime has several important sleep-promoting benefits:
Showers help you relax both physically and emotionally. A warm bath or shower always makes you feel better. It's easier to sleep when you're less anxious.
Showers are cleansing. When you go into bed clean, you will not only feel less stressed, but you will also avoid carrying any dirt, oils, or allergies into the bed with you. This is beneficial to both your skin and your mattress.
Showers require you to unplug. You can't watch TV or check Facebook on your phone while showering (unless you want to harm your technology). Even if just for a few minutes, your mind needs to disconnect. Including a shower in your evening regimen helps you move from your active daytime mode to relaxation and sleep mode.
Most elder abuse is hidden in plain sight. Abusers are often someone close – a family member, a caregiver, someone trusted. If you’re concerned about how someone is being treated, it’s OK to get help. #ItsOKtoHelp #WEAAD
