Loved seeing Te Komititanga full of people celebrating the lighting of Te Manaaki, Auckland’s Giant Christmas Tree.
Hard to believe a few years ago this civic space was a four lane road. It’s much better now and it is used by tens of thousands more people each day.

This is important and significant. These are the guidelines that were submitted and agreed before political interference. The ones that should have been published.
PATHA have taken a stand of not having their name used to give credence to the rewritten ones, and released the correct ones.

The one thing that saves us money at the supermarket is not going to the supermarket.
Find another source.
Use what you got already
Vege markets.
Garden. Neighbours. Food rescue. And buy bulk.
If I'm travelling out of Wellington by car, I get bulk supplies like pancake mix from producers I pass.

While job hunting, the hiring apps make me enter all the times I'm available for interviews. But because I'm in several hiring processes at once, I end up giving the same availability to everyone.... and then they all schedule their interviews at the same time.
