How high do we want Wellington to go?
The National Policy Statement on Urban Development released by the Government allows building heights of at least 6 storeys within walkable catchments of the city centre and metropolitan.
The Wellington City Council has proposed that in our most central suburb, Te Aro, we have a “minimum building height of at least 6 storeys” and a “maximum permitted building height to at least 10 storeys.”
In Wellington a lack of available land for development is driving the change towards higher buildings. That could eventually see Te Aro transform from an original working class suburb to a suburb of tower blocks. What do you think?
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!

CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING (CGM)
If you are still using the Finger Prick method to monitor the blood sugar levels, here's some good news.
There are now several products in the market that allow you to do the monitoring with a sensor that is attached to the arm.
The challenge is most of them cost around $100 for a 14 day use.
Now there is Caresense Air that is way more affordable;
1 unit is $60 + postage but if you order
6 units, the price comes down to $48 +postage per unit.
I am inviting anyone interested to contact me so we can make use of the bulk order discount.
PS: I am not an agent or distributor for Carensense Air. Just thought of making use of the bulk discount.
