Our Negative Press
Has anyone noticed how depressing the 'news' are nowadays? We seem to be getting very little positive information, little, if any, good news. Even the weather is bad.
I looked at the first page on both the New Zealand Herald and Stuff a couple of moments ago and it was miserable:
NZH - 4 x crime, 3 x economic downturn, 1 x possible slave labour, 2 x gossip and 1 x agriculture.
Stuff - 1 x crime, 1 x debatable sacking, 1 x covid death, 1 x racism and 1 x sport.
New Zealand seems to be on the downhill spiral with nothing to look forward to. For goodness sake, let's have some happiness.

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!
