Grand conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn coming up soon

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

For those of us who like a bit of astronomy and enjoy watching our beautiful southern skies, we are in for a rare treat, as Jupiter and Saturn come so close to each other that they will almost look like a single shining planet in the sky.
This event, known as a grand conjunction, happens about once every 20 years, and in New Zealand it will be about 2am on 22 December.
There's also a penumbral lunar eclipse coming up this Monday 30 November, between 8:30pm and 1am. It would be entirely visible from NZ, but unfortunately the weather is forecast to be cloudy at that time, so there might not be much to see, and as it's only a penumbral one, it wouldn't be a "blood moon" anyway.

Pet transport overseas

Kay from Central Whangarei

We are emigrating overseas and we are taking our cat with us. Does anyone know a pet transport company they can recommend.
I asked the vet but they didn’t know of any in particular. When I googled the subject loads of companies came up so it’s a lottery!
Just thought someone might know of one that they could recommend???
Thanks ☺️
