Crop Swap tomorrow (Sunday)
We have an active Crop Swap in the Brook at the Community Gardens (Tantragee Rd) on the first Sunday of the month. Anyone, no matter where you live, is invited.
What happens at a Crop Swap ?
Everyone brings some produce fruit, vegs, preserves, herbs, seedlings, and anything else that grows - to the Gardens and puts it on the table for all to see.
Then we tell everyone present what we've brought and a little about it.
After that we are free to choose what we want from the table. That's it !!
We sometimes have a cup of herbal brew too ! You are free to stay on and chat to anyone and leave when you like or have a stroll around the gardens.
We start promptly at 10.30am so try to be there a few minutes before that.
It's a national event which has been going since 2014 originally starting in Taranaki.
See you there tomorrow !
NZ Post and Rachel Boyack
I see our MP, Labour’s Rachel Boyack, is shedding crocodile tears over the NZ Post closures announced today for Nelson. Perhaps Rachel has ‘forgotten’ it was Labour that corporatised NZ Post, intentionally turning it from a service organisation into one focused solely on profit. Her cries would be a little more credible if she could promise Labour would reopen the closed offices or, even better, reverse that Labour-directed profit-only change.
Come on Rachel, what is Labour’s real position - public service or money?
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.4% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.5% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
