Metlink promises an end to bus fiasco
Metlink is going to set things right. After a long-term driver shortage and chaotic changes to the bus network, Metlink is promising that a new review of routes will set things straight.
Several extra services will be added to meet rush-hour demand, and several routes extended to run directly from outer suburbs to the centre city, starting from October 25.
The changes will remove some of the most unpopular aspects of the 2018 ‘Bustrastrophe’ network fiasco, particularly the need to make multiple transfers across different services.
Stamps wanted
I run a Stamp club at Tawa School to encourage children to collect stamps and learn about countries, history and more. Unfortunately new stamps aren't often seen these days as it's all electronic! If you have any stamps or old collections sitting around, let me know and I'll come and get them.
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!
