re: True Neighbourly
11 days ago I posted a request for musicians to play at a lunch I was hosting to celebrate the end of diabetes awareness week. The lunch wasn't a grand affair, we had no celebs join us but I did have two responses to my request. Thank you Paul Metcalfe and friend for taking time out of your busy working day as a builder to come along and support our efforts. Thank you to others from local schools who also offered.
I would also like to add that now is a great time to get your diabetes under control and before the silly season starts! We all know what its like "I'll just have one...." and then hey presto its January 13th and you have put on 2-3kg which you can't budge. Talk to us now about mindful eating in diabetes - 07 5713422

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
