Free Hot Cross Buns Mark Howick Appreciation Day

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

An Auckland businessman is giving away hundreds of hot cross buns tomorrow to celebrate Howick Appreciation Day.

Bakers Delight owner Arjun Tawar said he was inspired by the resilience and community spirit shown by the Howick community during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

So he will be dishing out the tasty morsels at his bakery from 7am to 6 pm.

Up for grabs will be chocolate chip, apple and cinnamon, mocha, fruitless and traditional buns.

Tawar said many people were foiled from sampling the delights last Easter so he opted to treat the town.

An owner since 2018, Tawar said a community that worked together would always prosper more.

"I have truly witnessed this over the past year as community members have come together to support us and other local businesses through such an uncertain time for all, " he said.

Due to their support we were able to continue trading throughout the height of the pandemic by
offering pick up orders, and recover well as we have returned to our new Covid normal."

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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? 🍫

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 Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
