The Lock Down
ISN'T THIS LOCKDOWN GREAT
I remember that time I woke up in the morning and thought
What shall I do
I had breakfast and thought
what shall I do
I sat down in the lounge and though
what shall I do
I looked out the window and thought
what shall I do
I walked out side and thought
what shall I do
I sat down and thought
what shall I do
I walked around the house and thought
what shall I do
I went inside and thought
what shall I do
I sat down in the lounge and though
what shall I do
I did some calculations
Saying 4 weeks seems such a long time
1 month sounds better
4 weeks is 28 Days
That's
672 hours
That's
40320 minutes
That's
2419200 seconds
And that's
2419200 000 000 000 nanoseconds
"ARRRRRRRRR PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP"
"Anyways how's your day going?"
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
