Auckland swimmers warned to look out for jellyfish blooms
The Auckland Regional Public Health Service has warned swimmers to watch out for jellyfish blooms on Auckland beaches.
Jellyfish stings and rashes can spoil your swim at Auckland beaches, especially as the water gets warmer, the service says.
They can be caused by a range of sea life, some of which are too small to see.
These include jellyfish, anemones and sea lice along with the more obvious crabs, stingrays and sharks.
Bluebottle jellyfish produce a nasty sting and people should stay out of the water if they see them.
Go to the Ministry of Health website or phone Healthline on 0800 611 116 for information.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
