Choice News Tuesday: New Zealander named first Commonwealth Poet Laureate
Good news for fans of creative expression and kiwi excellence ... poet Selina Tusitala Marsh has been announced as the inaugural Commonwealth Poet Laureate!
Marsh says, "When we honour the artistry within our communities, whether it flows from Sāmoa, my mother's island, or New Zealand, where I was born and grew up, we recognise the inherent dignity and worth of every person whose story deserves to be told."

We hope this news brings a smile!
On behalf - Dog wanted. If a dog needs rehoming with the best
dog parents, they are wanting to give that dog a home with lots of company & experience. Their dog died & wanted to wait but now they are looking to get another. Preferably medium sized black lab cross mix or similar. Had two then one now none :( pics of their dogs passed
