Straight from the heart Kiwimade that is bloody awesome - had a great morning your beautiful handcraft icing on the cake .I am having to put a backing on my Dr Seuss blanket the back is so untidy
Have done a couple of mornings breakfast club at the school as they are short of volunteers with all the sickness around - so different without all the motel kids though five families have stayed in the area but are living in previously empty houses that had been allocated for refugees - like the one next door to me - but the refugees - who are often single young men don’t want to come to Napier - so now getting families out of motels take priority under this govt - these kids have homes .The headmaster invited TV1 to come and video what he is doing in conjunction with the kids from the polytechnic and free stuff from suppliers like Sanitarium Foodstuffs Gilmores etc etc to provide lunches costing $1.50 a meal but he isn’t holding his breath - KidsCan have been brilliant.The Ministry said the contract with the company supplying the rubbish lunches can’t be cancelled until the new year - it’s not worth redistributing shredded cabbage and fish fingers so a pig farmer is taking it and contributing to the fund for the polytechnic kids .They are loving getting the experience .Today was fish pie or macaroni cheese with salad - banana muffin and an apple or soup and toasties
Something else to make me smile - the mongrel who smashed my leg is away for at least the next 3 years - I didn’t go to court but my grandaughter said I was very lucky - his other victims who cracked their heads on the pavement are far worse than me
Neighbour just dropped off a flounder - will have to be careful not to overcook it for dinner tonight
