Tony and June ‘lucky’ to be together in their serviced apartment

Bob Owens Retirement Village

Tony and June feel like the luckiest people living in a Ryman village.

Tony and June feel like the luckiest people living in a Ryman village.

The couple have lived in their large, sunny serviced apartment for four years now and still can’t quite believe what a good score it was.

“It was the best thing we’ve done,” says June. “It’s north facing, so it gets lots of light, and it’s a good size, so I’ve got room for my card-making supplies.”

Sprucing up our urban areas: good idea or not?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In central Palmerston North, landlords are being offered incentives to give their properties a tidy-up. Key to this: dedicated funding.

We want to know: Should city-wide refresh projects be rolled out across all Kiwi urban areas? Or would this be a waste of funds that could be allocated … View more

Your location can affect how much you pay to see a GP. So, someone on the West Coast might pay around $33, while a person in Wellington might pay closer to $70.

❔ We want to know: Where do you live, and how much do your GP visits cost?

These prices are influenced by underfunding, subsidy caps, and the pressure they put on wages. Read more about how the GP lottery impacts you in Harriet Laughton's piece in The Post.

Cat adoption

Hello,
My Dad lives in Welcome Bay and sadly had to say goodbye to his 14yr old beloved cat last month.
He is now ready to welcome a new cat into his life.
I have contacted local rescues but thought I'd post here just to see if someone needs to re-home a cat.
My Dad is 88yrs old and is looking for a 8-9yr plus, social, indoor cat that loves cuddles and enjoys curling up on his lap having a nap while he also has a nap, sunbathing on a bed or having the occasional puree kisses treat.
He has always had oriental breeds but is completely open to any short haired cat.
No kittens or cats that zoom around as although he's good for his age don't want him falling over a zooming cat and breaking anything.
Cat must be desexed and microchipped and up to date with vaccinations with proof of this.
I'm back in Tauranga, as I'm in the middle of moving, 25-26th November so we could come and meet potential new family member.
If for any reason my Dad becomes unwell and is unable to care for his new cat, it is understood that I will bring the cat into my home in Wellington to live with hubby, myself and our 5yr old female spoiled cat.
