Missing football
Hi friends
Recently my football obsessed son (7) saved up to buy a women’s World Cup branded football. We’ve been playing football at the front of our place on Arrow Street, but haven’t been good at bringing the ball inside afterwards.
It was last seen by one of the mini goals that we have. We’ve looked everywhere and checked with the neighbours but it can’t be found. I’d hate to think someone has come and taken it but that looks like the only conclusion - even if it was some larrikin grabbing it and booting it down the street.
It has either “Kit” or “Kit Mason” written on it. If anyone sees it and could get in touch it would make a small boy very happy.
Thanks all
Nick
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
