Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.
Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.
In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.

Timmy, a handsome 4-year-old tabby, disappeared one weekend in August from his cat house at the rear of the premises. Customer Paul Norfolk and wife Gloria had looked all over town for their favourite store cat, along with the shop’s manager, Kerry Mason, and her staff.
“Timmy is such an icon around Cambridge, everyone knows him as the Resene cat,” Gloria said.

The laptop has a resolution of 1366 x 768, and has Windows 10 Home loaded onto it. The laptop also has a DVD RW Multi Recorder fitted. The laptop comes with its charger.
The only issue is that the laptop battery doesn’t hold charge for long, and it’ll probably be best to change the battery at some point. You can however keep the charger plugged in while working on it.

2020 is about to make history here at Ormiston Senior College with its first whole school production in eight years. The Crucible is a play written by the legendary Arthur Miller and set in the village of Salem, Massachusetts, during the 1692 witch trials. Among the women there accused of sorcery, nineteen innocent souls were executed, based on real-life historic events this bewitching and intense script is a story of greed, betrayal, hysteria and suspicion. It is a show not to be missed.
Look at these awesome blooms!
Is it a good time for garden beds building from old used wood, taken down from fencing? It's sure looks great.

Sadly someone’s black cat has been knocked down in Botany Road. As I drove past I saw that someone has placed it on the grass verge past the Golf Club entrance (towards the new building area) if someone is looking for their pet. Sorry for your loss.
Hi Neighbours, It's easy to say things shouldn't be done because we need to focus on Covid-19 elimination, but maybe that's more of an argument to sort out the stadium plan. Read the story below.
