Randy and Gene live in the Lower Hutt suburb of Avalon.
"Brothers Randy and Gene chat to Grey Cat through the cat flap (social distancing). Randy and Gene run a muck through the Avalon neighbourhood with their pal who often sneaks in and eats their food.
Randy likes to watch keep watch of all the goings on in the neighbourhood, he lives in Ferretti Grove, Avalon with his brother Gene and human mum and dad (Kaye and Alex). Randy is a very friendly and curious little boy and enjoys making new friends - I know this due to the text messages I get about his whereabouts - usually napping at the neighbour's place."

This week we feature a korimako from Rosa Marie.
"I discovered a bellbird/korimako or two as I went on my daily walk. One of them was happy to make lots of noise as I snapped away at it!
Tūī were out in full force, as they fed on the blossoms!

Tūī were out in full force, as they fed on the blossoms!
Kereru, as usual, were everywhere including in a wheelbarrow!
The sparrows were caught having a good old dust bath.
Mr Duck was out by himself and full of chatter as I walked by him.
Although it was still very cold, it was nice to feel the rays of the sun on me!

This lovely tūī pic taken by Andrew Gorrie in his garden (taken before lockdown) is too good to ignore. Have you been seeing more birds in your garden?
Maggie the Mannequin has proved a big hit over lockdown. She is to be found on the Western Hills in Lower Hutt.
Have you got an any lockdown street art in your area?
This should not be too hard. What are your memories of where this photo was taken?
Bison, orca and mammoths can all be found on Petone Beach, as locals unleash their pent-up creativity during lockdown.
It is also happening in another Lower Hutt suburb, Eastbourne.
Is there any public art appearing in your community during lockdown?
If you have some photos please post them.

Unlike the lockdown in 2020, it appears that houses are still selling and the property market is still active.
Would you buy or sell your house in the current climate?

An ideal indoor plant. Very easy care. It likes light but not direct sunshine.Doesn't mind if you forget to water it sometimes.
It has a trailing habit and can be trained up a small support or along a wall .
Elongated thick Glossy green leaves. THe longest tendril is about 60cms long.
Beautiful waxy pink flowers which come out each year. This plant has not flowered yet but will do. The pic of the flower is not a very good one but gives you some idea.
Pickup is in Kuripuni. Contactless. Payment can be made online ......if you give me your cellphone number I cant text it to you.
Thanks for looking.
A little potfull of Grape Hyacinth (Muscari) with three flowers and more on the way.
Very easy to grow . They flower at this time of the year with beautiful little blue thumb sized flowers which look similar to an upright bunch of grapes .
