Outdoor Tables Available
Just because it's not a high-traffic street -- I've noticed there's a small (4 person) outdoor table abandoned outside near the corner of Panorama Rd and Penrose Rd (north side of the street), and someone else has left a larger glass topped outdoor table (6 or 8 person size) outside the property right next to the power lines further down Panorama.
Hopefully someone can refurb and rehome those!
Also a reminder to everyone - you can book hard rubbish collection with Auckland Council but our area isn't due until later this year -- if you need to get rid of something usable please call one of the charity op shops to pick up instead of dumping it!
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!
