(If not, you can read a summary of the June quarter's activity on this article published by the Post)

Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?

Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

Letting go of the chase for romance and finding freedom in Addictive Eaters Anonymous

I can remember my mother saying to me, “Men don't like clingy women,” or words to that effect. But I knew that I would be incapable of doing anything else because the man would be the one to solve all my problems.

I'd always chased. I was the one who chased. I never waited for the man to become the hunter. I was always on the prowl. So, of course, it never worked out, because for whatever reason, I always seemed to get the ones who were as sick as I was. But I didn't realize that at the time.

Aotearoa New Zealand is aiming to be predator-free in 2050 to ensure our islands' unique species of birds, frogs, lizards and plants can thrive.

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!

People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.

What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?
