Dry July
Hello neighbours,
My Dry July has begun and I've officially made it through my first weekend of the challenge!
As part of my Dry July, I'm raising funds for people affected by cancer. Please show your support and make a donation to my Dry July.
Not only will your support keep me motivated throughout the challenge, but most importantly, your donation will help Look Good Feel Better NZ, PINC & STEEL NZ and Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand deliver practical, tangible services for Kiwis affected by cancer.
If you'd like to donate, it's easy! Here's a link to my profile page::

There's no donation too small (or big!) because every donation will help make a difference.
Thanks in advance for your support!
(A non-alcoholic) Cheers,
Andy

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
