Get vaccinated!
The Hutt City Council is reminding everybody to get vaccinated and stick to your bubble.
"We have five vaccination centres in Lower Hutt, on High St, in Epuni, Wainuiomata, Boulcott and Waiwhetu. The wonderful crew in Waiwhetu performed over 300 vaccinations yesterday! If you're over 40 or in groups 1, 2 or 3 you can book your vaccinations now. Those aged 30+ will be able to book theirs from this Wednesday. Remember, if you're a parent or guardian your kids aged 12-15 can now receive their vaccinations when you get yours. Just call 0800 28 29 26 to make sure there's space during your booking."

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!
