Black Porsche KRE438 - please contact me!

Jodie from Greenhithe

hi lovely neighbours, on the 30 oct morning this year we were at The Collins cafe in Greenhithe and a lady in a black Porsche no plate KRE438 backed into our old BMW black station wagon and promptly drove off.

It was witnessed by someone who didn't like what he'd seen and kindly passed on the details. I was willing to let it go but you've hit our the sensor area at the front of the car and buggered up the sensors and I'm a bit fed up with getting into the car and getting crazy messages on the dash! ...it's not good for my health!! So I've decided to get in touch. You did the wrong thing and you're a bit daft to think that you could do that outside a busy local cafe and get away with it. It's arrogant, un-neighbourly and a no go....So do the right thing and please ring me Jodie on 021 231 6617. Or if anyone knows this lady please pass on the message... safe happy xmas all x

Cat hit by car

Sinead from Massey

Sorry for the sad news but someone’s beloved pet cat has been hit by a car on Don Buck Rd. It is outside # 146 Don Buck Rd, up on the grass verge near the school zone sign. Almost opposite the intersection of Zita Maria Drive & Don Buck Road.

It is outside # 146 Don Buck Rd, up on the grass verge near the school zone sign. Almost opposite the intersection of Zita Maria Drive & Don Buck Road. I turned onto Don Buck Rd about 8:15 pm & noticed the cat up on the grass hill. It must have just happened not long before. 😢 Another lady who also stopped after me was going to put a post on the Massey Facebook page.

Update: I decided to take the cat to the Animal Emergency Centre at 97 Carrington Road, Mt Albert. On the Unitec premises. I wanted to check if it was microchipped. I didn’t want the cat to be left there overnight & in the heat of the day tomorrow & also with children walking past to school I think it would be upsetting.

The cat is a male, is not microchipped & not desexed. The vet said he is possibly a stray & someone may have been feeding him because his coat was in good condition. He looks of a young age. He is a silver & black tabby with thick black stripes on his back. He has 4 white paws, both back legs looks like he is wearing white socks. Has white on his tummy & also under his chin.

The Animal Emergency Centre will hold him for 7 days. The phone number for enquires is 09-849-2121.

Will sensory-friendly Santa sessions brighten your family's Christmas?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

For some children with sensory issues, the bright lights, music and general festivities around a visit to Santa in the mall can be too much.

Auckland mum Tash Vruink can't remember the last time she took her 12-year-old son, Jaxon Woolley, to the supermarket or the mall.

Hi neighbours,

For some children with sensory issues, the bright lights, music and general festivities around a visit to Santa in the mall can be too much.

Auckland mum Tash Vruink can't remember the last time she took her 12-year-old son, Jaxon Woolley, to the supermarket or the mall.

But this Christmas, he'll have the option to enjoy a Santa snap with his two younger siblings thanks to sensory-friendly photo sessions.

In December, three of Auckland's Westfield Shopping Centres will open early with dimmed lights and soft music to cater to children with sensory disorders wanting to see the big man in red. To find out more about the sessions, click here.

What are your thoughts on these sensory-friendly Santa sessions? Do you know any children who would love to see Santa at a session like this? Let us know your thoughts with us in the replies below!
