To the red-light runner on the corner of Great South Rd and Hill Rd, Manurewa, on Thursday morning: You were 1m away from wiping out this elderly nana of nine. I thank God for my good brakes.

Five weeks ago I had a total knee replacement at the North Shore Elective Surgery Centre. I would like to thank all staff in Cullen Ward, the surgeon and his team, for taking awesome care of me during my stay, including the delicious meals that were served. Fantastic facility, great concept. The thanks also goes to others, e.g. front desk, recovery ward staff: wonderful service.

Agents who leave their signs up for weeks after selling a house. Self-promotion on public land? It's visual pollution. Take them down after a reasonable period of time, preferably within five days, or locals should help you do it.

On Saturday, my family and I went to the fabulous Friend of the Farmer restaurant at Kings Nursery in Airfield Rd, Takanini. I was feeling unwell and a staff member, who was also a nurse, called for an ambulance and administered first-aid to me until the paramedics arrived. The owner was also amazing, with a ready supply of towels and whatever was needed. A big thumbs-up to them as nobody would want that in their restaurant at lunchtime on a holiday weekend. Thank you, Friend of the Farmer.
