The Cheese
• Tomme de Chevre Cendree – raw goats milk from the Loire Valley. A cheese of smooth cream, mushroom with refreshing acidity
• Brie de Meaux, ripe, delicate, and always easy to like.
• Abbaye De Citeaux – a washed rind cheese of unpasteurised cows milk cheese produced in an Abbey in Bourgogne Montbeliarde cows. Funky and a bit wild on the nose but rich and creamy on the palate.
• Gruyère from Switzerland with butter and toasted nuts. So easy to eat more and more.
• Roquefort, the famous sheep’s milk cheese in the town of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon must lead the game of best blue. Creamy, feral but with good acidity and a long lingering finish.

According to a study, eating two kiwi fruits one hour before bedtime may help you fall asleep faster and sleep better.
Kiwi fruits tend to carry very high antioxidant levels and serotonin levels. These antioxidants appear to have a good influence on sleep, according to a growing number of studies based around this. High levels of serotonin may also be significant, since serotonin helps to initiate sleep and then sustain sleep throughout the night. It also helps to regulate the phases of sleep and stimulates alertness in the morning. Test it out to set yourself for a perfect night in slumber, but things surely do appear to be going well for the small fruit.

======================================================
The pricing is below the nearby Pak'nSave, whose service station is selling 91 for $2.69, 95 for $2.85 and diesel for $2.29 for the supermarket's shoppers. according to Gaspy.
======================================================
Another close by service station, the Mobil in Don Buck Rd, had 91 for $2.73 and 95 for $2.91 this morning, while another local station, Challenge Massey, had 91 for $2.66 and 95 for $3.06.

An annual membership costs $60 or $55 for business.
So far, the only way to register is to join a queue of up to 90 minutes at Costco's temporary admin office at Westgate, but the retailer says an online option is on the way.
=================================================
The first wave of cars came through at 9.20am.
The service station is opposite the $100m Costco store at Westgate, which the retailer's Australia-NZ boss Patrick Noone says will open in late August.
While a membership card can be used straight away, the clock won't start on the 12-month membership term until the store opens.
As in Australia, Costco is partnering with Mobil for petrol distribution.
Noone would not say how many people had bought Costco memberships, but said the figure was in the thousands.
In its recent report into supermarket competition, the Commerce Commission said, "Woolworths NZ [owner of Countdown] also told us that Costco is seen as a "destination shop" and that they have seen analysis from Australia suggesting that Costco stores have in-person catchment areas of approximately 25km."
That's for general shopping. Across the Tasman, a report for the New South Wales state government found Costco influenced petrol prices in a 5km radius around its stores.
Costco also plans stores in Wellington and Christchurch, subject to the performance of its Auckland operation.
Costco's 2021 annual report says its 636 service stations account for 9 per cent of its US$163 billion revenue worldwide (as of December 2021, Costco had 828 stores or "warehouses" as it calls them, including 677 in North America, 29 in the UK and 13 in Australia).
In Sydney, where there are three Costcos, the retailer typically sells for 10 to 20 cents per litre cheaper than other service stations (before loyalty programmes), according to Pricespy data.
A 2020 Houston Chronicle report said the giant retailer at times uses fuel as a "loss-leader", selling at 20c to 30c cheaper per gallon (3.7 litres) than traditional service stations to attract customers to the rest of its business. And in a March 11 article on the Ukraine crisis highlighting "cheap gas" at Costco and other big retailers, the Wall Street Journal said, "Big box retailers are counting on drawing in consumers with cheaper gasoline and then having them leave with an armful of groceries too."

From a house clearance:
There are 9 sets in their separate plastic bags PLUS a large lot of unusual shapes and partly assembled bits that make me suspect these are a mix of sets (but I have no idea which ones) PLUS a lot of booklets which might or might not have relevance to the parts.

Contactless pickup in Green Bay is much preferred though posting is possible. If you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup.
As I work from home anyway I'm home pretty much all the time, so just let me know a time you would like to come round.
I have a whole household and shed to clear - so please have a look at my other listings too!
