It got me thinking about the importance of water in an emergency and is a good reminder to check my emergency water supplies.
You need about 3 litres of water per person, per day and extra for washing, cooking and for your pets. We can’t survive without water for long. Store water in a dark place – speaking from experience, it only takes a little bit of light to grow a nice crop of green slime!

We caught up with Dr Angela Campbell, PhD Manager of the WellSleep Centre, University of Otago, Wellington and she provided us with some insights into the most common symptoms women might experience whilst going through menopause, which are insomnia, hot flushes, snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea. Dr Campbell states, “these are all common side effects of menopause and can affect up to 70% of women.” So, if you’re experiencing sleepless nights and suddenly disturbing your partner with this new-found snoring, you’re certainly not alone.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you might be interested to learn that Patney offer an effective, non-invasive and temperature neutral solution that can assist with controlling your snoring - the Patney sleep positioner, has undergone independent validation testing by the WellSleep Centre, Otago University.

If people cannot afford to have their cats fixed, vaccinated or feed them then they shouldn't get them. I often see on free economy people saying they have just got a kitten and advertise for food, bedding, carry cages, toys etc, so you know those kittens are not going to be vaccinated , chipped or fixed. Time there was some control re back yard breeders. Too many of these kittens are dumped because the kids get bored with them.
Well that's the end of an era.
