On behalf of our Fur Babies
Hi dear neighbours
Just a gentle reminder leading into warmer days that dogs left in cars need a decent airflow... inside of cars heat up really really quickly and leaving an inch gap in one or two windows is NOT enough air for them in the heat. I’ve seen and heard two dogs this morning stressed out in cars.. one in the Greenhithe school car park and one at the shops... so please please on behalf of our fur babies... take your valuables and open those windows up! Cheers

Hazy weekend for New Zealand.. again
Hazy skies caused by the Australian bush fires are set to linger this weekend.
Northwesterly winds have blown a hazy plume of smoke across the Tasman Sea, and while it has mostly affected the South Island in recent weeks, it has moved up the country.
The "robust plume" is expected to head to the South Island late on Saturday.
The haze has been causing a yellowish-orange, hue at sunset, making for some sweet sunset photos. Share your photos in the comments!
