MASKS

Linda from Henderson

I do hope they have a lot of ambulances spare if we are going to have to wear masks all through the hot and sticky summer. Very hard to breathe, and easy to faint.

Also, when walking on uneven footpaths, you normally look down to see where you are walking. Try this with a mask blocking your view downwards. Several people have told me they have almost tripped over.

And just out of interest, I ordered a black mask online. These are $3 from China, but postage time wise I decided to buy from OZ for $20.
It consists of two unhemmed pieces of polyester material with a cut out for your ears and a seam down the middle. It slips down, and is generally useless. Worth 20 cents. Don't get sucked in!

Suspicious Guy

Jan from Te Atatu South

Keep an eye on this guy, pretended to read the water meter, then wandered up the drive crowbar in hand when I asked what he wanted he said power and is there a dog.We have smart meters. He opened my neighbours gate (we are 3 units) and went in the back of her place with his crowbar. My son went round there and he took off. Police informed.
