Myrtle Rust is a fungus that can destroy our native and taonga myrtle trees such as ramarama, pōhutukawa, mānuka and bottle brush. It has been dormant over the winter months due to the lower temperatures, but with spring now here Myrtle Rust could thrive and become easier to spot.

Really enjoyed today's visit from the Auckland branch of Blind Citizens NZ. Useful opportunity to better understand some of the issues blind and vision impaired Aucklanders face on a daily basis.
And unusual to have three labradors and an alsatian in my office!

Just to let everyone know that these money grabbing people are still operating, in Botany at present.

We went and had a look at a three bedroom house today, on a very small section, that was auctioned a couple of weeks ago, in Dairyland Drive. When I asked the agent what price had it been passed in at auction, I thought it hadn't sold, as it was listed the next day with a "by negotiation" on it, he said it had been sold at auction for one million and eighty thousand, bought by an investor, who then put it straight back on to the market, and was wanting around one million, two hundred thousand for it.
Not a thing had been done to it, and it needed new paint and wallpaper, and landscaping. So for the politicians to say it is not the Chinese investors putting the prices up, that is a load of bull, this is just one example of it happening, and it is about time that one party had the guts to say enough!!!!!!!!, this is what is making it so hard for born and bred N.Z.ers to be able to buy a home, and I for one will vote for that party if it ever happens, and I won't hold my breath!!!!!!
