Tuesday, 14:00 ish and Out Shopping
First outing in over 4 weeks for me.
Bin Inn was open, against expectation, and it was a clear run for me.
Pack 'n Save - good, I rocked up with my walking stick and got waved straight in.THANK YOU. There were maybe 40 people waiting.
No wholegrain oats, so on I went ...
Countdown Regent - 10-15 people waiting, it didn't take long to get in. And it didn't take long to get out. With wholegrain oats, and some nice cheeses.
New World Regent - maybe 30 people waiting outside. Wait was a little longer than 10 minutes, but no more than 15. Checkout was really fast.
I can't post from my phone, so had to wait to get home to the computer. Hope this gives you some idea though ....

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!
