A Huge Apology To Everyone who received their newspapers a day or two late
This is to all people who live down in Stephen Ave, Kona Cres, Poinsettia Place, and the Upper Half of Lincoln Road, from the start Kingdale Rd, and passed Pomaria Rd upwards (you know I am meaning)
I do apologise to all who have received their newspapers quite late last week. I was quite sick on Monday and Tuesday and came down with a horrible cold and quite chesty. Still not 100% but will be able to do normal deliveries this week as best as I can. I have been able to drink a lot of lemon drink like Lift or when I get the chance, I will mix some Raro juice sachets (put for eg two lemonade raro sachets in a 3 litre bottle) with some actual squeezed lemons with water to fill up the bottle, to mix the juice together and drink when ready.

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!
The gift of giving …?
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
