Ten months later…
Wow! I can’t believe that it has been 10 months since my last blog post! A lot has happened since then and we carry on in New Zealand almost as if there is no pandemic in the world. I am still so proud of NZ and our team of 5 million. We are still getting …
Lockdown take two!
We are eleven days in to our second Level 3 lockdown in NZ, but only in Auckland. The rest of the country is in Level 2. We had to expect it, and I’m glad our government has again gone early and hard to contain this second outbreak. The world just seems so surreal at the …

I have been and continue to be on a journey recovering from depression, anxiety and PTSD. How important it is to have help and support. I don’t anticipate that this small business …
Puzzling
I am puzzled. It bothers me that so many people these days have trouble with basic spelling, grammar and punctuation. Is it because children in school these days are not corrected in their school work? When I was at school we were thoroughly taught all the basics over and over and it never bothered me …
Finally!
I am so pleased that my website is up and running at last. I would thoroughly recommend using WordPress – For a free plan, I think it’s pretty good. I am looking forward to getting some proofreading work and applying all the skills I learnt while doing my Diploma. Maybe I will also get around …
