“I would like to nominate and THANK our great neighbour's living at Viv Davie Martin Drive for their creativity and huge effort during lock down. They lifted all our spirits with their daily Teddy bear reenactment on how to keep busy. Each day people came to see what Teddy bear was up to. With keen interest kids in our neighbourhood even gave Teddy a proper name...meet Vincent LOL! It's through times like this that such acts of goodness should be acknowledged and the memories they hold forever treasured. A selected few photos of Vincent's daily lockdown activities "thanks Vincent :)"

RECYCLE
Most of us love shopping and buying something new, but do we also think about the things we throw out?
It’s a shame to send good quality items to landfill when someone else could still reuse and benefit from them.
REUSE
The exciting news is that many people are recycling by giving good stuff to charity, so that others have the opportunity to reuse and relove them.
Give pre-loved items a chance to be reused by donating them to your local Red Cross Shop! RELOVE
Come in and have a look at the great things we have received in our Red Cross Shops. You might find something to reuse, and even relove.
The best part: every dollar spent in the shop goes to help vulnerable people in communities across New Zealand and around the world.

If you have never watched 4K TV before, the first time will stun you. I have included some photos, but they won't show the vividness and sharpness of a 4K LED Ultra High Definition TV on your computer. The colour and clarity is absolutely incredible! Talking to the TV with the smart remote is fun, too. For viewing and test driving the smart remote, arrange a time/date with Vern or Maureen on

I am selling this TV because of a mistake. Our old TV was a Sony that output sound to the TV speakers and the headphones at the same time. I assumed this Sony would do the same. Nope. It mutes the TV speakers if you use the head phones. My husband has a hearing loss. On the old set he used headphones to control his volume while I had the TV speakers at my level. On this set we tried routing the TV signal through a recorder to capture sound from the recorder, which would not affect the TV speakers. No joy there. I need another TV that outputs sound from TV speakers and the headphone jack at the same time. My mistake. Your good fortune.
