This 'free' session is being held on Tuesday 16 October 5:30 - 6:30pm at UXBRIDGE Arts & Culture, 35 Uxbridge Road, Howick. Everyone welcome so come and have a go but please book in below so we have room for you uxbridge.org.nz...

The pace of this class is taken nice and slowly, more than mainstream yoga. Postures that place strain on the lower back and joints are avoided. The emphasis is on how it feels, not how it looks.
The gentle nature of yoga makes it the ideal exercise as we age. Chair options will be provided for those who are not comfortable getting up and down on to the floor.

Students inspire environmental design

Communications Team from Auckland Council

The students picked up their pencils and Play-Doh and sketched and sculpted designs of how they would like their restored reserve to look. The designs were largely inspired by nature and the surrounding landscape and the native species the Healthy Waters team was trying to attract back.

Christmas may be months away, but it’s not too early to start thinking about the numerous elderly folk who may find themselves alone this festive season.
MECOSS is putting out a call to the Manukau East community, for contributions of Christmas cards penned with hand written messages.
A collection drop-box will be set up in the foyer of the All Saints’ Community Centre, 30 Cook Street, Howick, every day between 8:00am and 4:00pm from Monday, 5 November until Friday, 7 December.
Then before Christmas, the 'Sending Love' charity will distribute the cards you've crafted, to people in our community who’re elderly and living alone, or who're confined to an age-care facility.

Hi neighbours,

Have you heard this trick before? A handy hack on how to open OXO cubes is causing a stir online, as it seems many of us have been doing it all wrong.

Forget crumbling up the cube after opening the silver foil packaging - it seems that packaging was actually designed to be flattened. To read more click here.

Simply open up the flaps on the side, flatten them out and then crumble the cube inside the package, turning it into a powder that's a heck of a lot easier to add to your dish.

Did you know this handy trick? Have you been opening the cubes the wrong way your whole life like the rest of us? Will this make cooking for your family a little easier? Share your thoughts in the replies below!
