Our water use is "skyrocketing" according to Watercare, breaking previous water records three times last week. The water company says if we continue to use more and more water on hot days, restrictions may be introduced. What creative ways are you trying to save water? Do you have a timer in your shower? Have you replaced your herbs with cacti so you don't have to water them? Let us know, we'd love to hear your stories.

So far the event has proven popular with women and LGBTQI people, but there is currently a shortage of straight men signed up. However, the museum hopes the gender balance will improve with more publicity of the event during the next couple of weeks. Would you give the singles' night a go? What's your idea of a perfect first date?

Water

Louise from Clevedon

Come on people the water situation is SERIOUS. I am rural every drop of water is Precious. My showers, baths, dishes, washing machine water is saved daily to feed my garden, very large garden. We are proud of how we save water yet those who are urban are still washing their car, windows, waterings … View moreCome on people the water situation is SERIOUS. I am rural every drop of water is Precious. My showers, baths, dishes, washing machine water is saved daily to feed my garden, very large garden. We are proud of how we save water yet those who are urban are still washing their car, windows, waterings the gardens. The one that angers me the most is the construction site. You drive past to see it running down the drain. Then there is the issue that they have removed ALL of the trees. HELLO WORLD what attracts rain. TREES ! Every single house hold needs to plant a tree for every person in that household, hopefully we will see some rain. Oh water that tree from your shower water you saved not from your hose. Good luck Auckland you are the only ones who can change this situation for the better.

Circus superstars Circolombia head to Auckland Arts Festival this month with their renegade brand of circus and fiesta fun.

This super-charged company of Colombian artists is changing the face of circus worldwide garnering five-star reviews and bringing audiences to their feet to cheer. With a mix of Latin fire, heart-stopping energy and high-risk adrenaline-fuelled acrobatics, their new show Acéléré is no ordinary circus – it’s simply extraordinary.

Delivered with the rawness and attitude of South American street life, Acéléré turns the spotlight on 14 incredible performers and their endless feats of strength, balance, tumbling and insane pinpoint accuracy, and accompanied by a vibrant mixtape of Latin hip-hop and electro cumbia performed live.

Rebellious, dynamic and wildly entertaining, Acéléré is “the circus performance that shows others how it’s done. Go.” (The Scotsman).

Four shows only at Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre, Aotea Centre from March 26-29. Find out more and book tickets

Bald eagles, a Weddell seal, a gentoo penguin, a three-toed sloth, a grey whale and a curious racoon are just some of the many animals featured in The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, opening on Friday at Auckland Museum.

This week, visitors to the Museum will get their first opportunity to immerse themselves in some of the most vibrant, fascinating images collected this year of the vast and varied nature of life on Earth. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is the world’s most prestigious international nature photography exhibition, direct from London's Natural History Museum.
The longest-running nature photography exhibition in the world, it is known for inspiring curiosity and wonder, while also reminding us of the fragility of our planet and our responsibility to protect it.

Among those featured is the work of 14-year-old Aucklander, Cruz Erdmann, who won the title of Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year for his snap of a bigfin squid illuminating the inky blackness of the ocean.

Don't miss your chance to see up close the images that have got the whole world talking. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is free with Museum entry.
