We knit garments for Pregnancy Help and are nearly out of wool. Buying wool was low priority when preparing for lock down. If anyone has wool they no longer need I would love to come collect it. Willing to pay for some but a donation of wool would be very welcome :)

First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® are donating 100 bottles of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® Crisis Support© 10ml stock combination essence, which will enable approximately 7,000 Crisis Support© flower essence blends to be distributed by our dedicated team of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® registered practitioners at minimal cost or by donation across their communities.
First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® Crisis Support© is all purpose emotional emergency flower essence blend to support emotional stability and inner balance during a crisis, sudden change, disaster or unexpected situation.
Mother Nature has provided us with a truly remarkable gift in the form of pure vibrational medicines from the ancient forests of New Zealand. This gift is the range of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® - a fast-acting dynamic natural and non-intrusive means of working with the powers and intelligence of Nature to help restore and maintain wellbeing on all levels of our being, including physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
A small donation to cover my direct costs of making up these blends is welcome but not essential. (Oral Flower Essences that support emotional wellbeing, take 4 drops 3 times a day or more if needed).
Text me on 027 2904030 if you would like a blend made up for you. I truly can't recommend this more.
Pick up from my letterbox.

We have managed to go remote with our NZQA fulltime courses! NZSFWLive is our new online learning platform where our tutors live-stream their classes to students at home. The cookery students have been supplied with ingredients, and in some cases, bowls, trays, sieves and pots, so that they watch the demonstration and then prepare it themselves at home. They then upload a photo of what’s cooked. We are using Google Classrooms and Hangouts to connect.

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.
Level 4 measures will likely be in place for a number of weeks.
Don’t worry. During that time you will still be able to access all the essentials you need, including medicine, food, and other home supplies.
ALL THE TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS
It’s incredibly important that we all follow the Level 4 plan, all the time. No exceptions. Because doing so will save lives.
A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE
We realise these are big changes. But these are challenging times.
If we don't all stay home, the whole country will need Level 4 restrictions for longer.
SUPPORT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE PEOPLE
We owe it to the essential services. Our nurses, doctors and everyone else on the frontline. They’re working tirelessly to save lives. We should all do everything in our power to help them do this.
Thank you to each and every person, for doing their bit.
While you’re staying at home:
STAY CONNECTED
• Don’t let physical distance stop you staying connected. Keep in touch with people using video calls, phone calls, chat and texting.
• If you know people who are living alone, vulnerable, or separated from their loved ones, regularly check-in with them.
STAY WELL
• Continue to practice good hygiene – wash your hands with soap. Then dry.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Regularly clean surfaces in your home with disinfectant.
• Keep up regular physical exercise, and get some fresh air when possible. It’s good so long as this is solitary, or only with those you live with.
REACH OUT
If you need advice, support or help, try reaching out to friends, family, whānau or workmates.

In 1918, the Spanish Influenza had arrived on New Zealand's shores. In the Auckland Institute and Museum's 1918-1919 Annual Report, there is a very short reference to the epidemic's affect on the Museum:
"The recent epidemic of influenza has greatly affected the attendance at the Museum. In the first place, it necessitated the closing of the Institution from November 3 to December 1, or nearly a full month, and after re-opening it was at least another month before the attendance became normal."
We too, will open again, and while it may take a while to get back to normal, we can get there together.
Let's unite against COVID-19. Kia kaha New Zealand. Stay at home, be calm and be kind. He waka eke noa.
As of tonight at 11:59pm New Zealand will move to a Level 4 alert in response to the #COVID19 pandemic. It will put the entire country on lockdown for four weeks. Here’s what that will mean for us moving forward:
