We’ve got through the first two weeks of lockdown!

Thanks to a tech-savvy workforce and a business culture that has long promoted flexible and remote working practices Tommy’s Property Management supports working from home. Our property managers are still here for you albeit remotely so please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us with any queries you might have, or even just to check in and have a friendly chat! We’d love to hear what you’ve been up to and any creative ideas you might have that we can pass on to others.

NZ Bear Hunt is on!

Does your house have a teddy in the window to give children something to look forward to on their neighbourhood walks?  You can follow the Facebook page  ‘We’re Not Scared – NZ Bear Hunt’.

The SPCA have a wide range of resources for parents to download which can help teach children about various animals and compassion. There are plenty of quizzes and interactive games available. All the resources are educational but are also fun and engaging.  Check out their page here!

Some people have put up their festive lights to brighten the mood during the Covid-19 lockdown period. That seemed like quite a lot of work so we have created a colouring-in sketch for a bit of fun and to get our creative juices flowing! So go on, have a go! Upload a photo of your best effort to our Give Wellington Colour post on our Facebook page.

Also, don’t forget to go outside for fresh air and exercise either on your own or with people you are self-isolating with.

You need to keep 2m away from other people at all times and you stay in your local area.

Although it is imporant to keep active, also make time to relax. There are times when you just need to sit down and do nothing – rest the mind and body, watch a movie or get stuck in to a good book.

Stay safe, create fun, we’re all in this together!

Are you a dab hand in the kitchen? Fancy fancying it up a bit?

Italian Michelin-starred chef Massimo Bottura has started streaming his family dinners on Instagram while his country is on lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bottura, whose restaurant Osteria Francescana was ranked No. 1 in the world in 2018, recently began posting Instagram videos in which he and his family cook dinner together using common household ingredients.

He calls it “Kitchen Quarantine,”
