HELP
I think this is the time when we all need to put "money to the mouth" as the saying goes. If anyone needs help during this trying time, with anything from groceries to a bit of support I would like to think that they would be able to call on anyone of us on this group for this help. I know that it is not easy for any of us to admit that we need help, but during this time I think we need to make acceptions to our normal way of thinking. I will be the first to be available to help, if I can to anyone in the area that needs a hand. Hopefully others will follow. My email is jackidb123@gmail.com / 0210551566 (leave a msg if I dont answer)

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.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
