I’ve run out of single-use plastic bags which I place my recycling in on the curb. As I live in the city centre @WgtnCC doesn’t provide me a recycling bin so I asked them what I could use as a replacement... Their suggestion was to buy clear, plastic bags from @NewWorld 🤦🏻‍♀️

So lovely to visit Levin today to speak about the End of Life Choice Act and upcoming referendum at the Horowhenua District Ratepayers & Residents Assn meeting. This local supporter’s shirt sums it up well!

You know you’re getting old when you spend a significant portion of your Labour Day scrubbing tiles and floors. Job well done ✅
