I went back to my car and found a warning on my windscreen to say this is a private car park for Clyde street customers. Only and if I use it again I will be towed away or clamped. Then also on my windscreen is a ticket at 9.59 am for $65. I did intend to buy some bread from bakers delight but after the ticket I was not going to support the shops. Beware when using this car park. It is not P60 at all.

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Today, (7/12) a very special couple have been married 72 years!!!

The wife is seriously ill and can't leave her bed... so to help cheer her up and to celebrate their anniversary, I'm inviting all of you - yes all of you - to come and sing Christmas carols on their front lawn tonight.

We will meet at 7.15pm on Mount View Rd near Heather Place. We will then walk together to their house and sing for about 15 minutes accompanied by the Salvation Army band.

Please share this invite with anyone you think might be interested and particularly those who live in the area.

If anyone can't find us on the night, my number is 027 2853625.

Thanks!
