Do you love butterflies?
I love this photo from Elizabeth Amber's garden of a yellow admiral. You could have these beauties (and more) visiting your garden.
Here's some tips as well that I pulled from the last e-news from the MBNZT (Moths and Butterflies of NZ Trust).
The e-news is free and comes out every Friday, with tips and tricks to bring more beautiful butterflies to your garden in the season. www.mb.org.nz... .
We're lucky in Blockhouse Bay because our swan plants are not "annuals" - we can have plants that last for years and of course if you let them they will self-seed, providing you and your neighbours with more plants... more caterpillars, more butterflies. (If you can control the social wasps, that is.)
Feel free to share this message with others in your neighbourhood(s) - it would be great to have more people looking after our butterflies.
The MBNZT has a great “special offer” available now for new financial members: George Gibbs’ excellent book on “The Monarch Butterfly in New Zealand” as well as a colourful ID poster of New Zealand’s butterflies, both absolutely free. And they put the subscription to really good use… they’ve listed 19 ways (and I suspect there are more) on their website.
www.nzbutterflies.org.nz...
Both of these gifts are free right now when you show your support for the MBNZT, $35 per annum to receive the magazines digitally, or only $45 to receive them in the mail.
🪱🐦 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?
House cleaning
We are looking for a friendly, efficient and reliable lady to do 2 or 3 hours a week domestic cleaning ( dusting, bath / loo, kitchen surfaces, mop floor etc.) in Titirangi. The house is generally very tidy and clean - but wanting some help to keep it that way and free up some time.
$25/ hour cash.

PURPLE MONTH (EPILEPSY AWARENESS) EVENT
Hi everyone! I'm Renee and I am the educator for Epilepsy NZ covering the Waitematā.
This month (March) is Purple Month, a month where we recognize, raise awareness and raise funds to support people living with epilepsy in our community.
Purple Month often culminates with Purple Day - March 26th.
This year also happens to be the 70th anniversary of The Epilepsy Association of New Zealand and so I am putting together an event to also celebrate that which I'm hoping will be a bit extra special!
This event will take place on Friday the 20th of March at the Te Atatu Peninsula Community Centre.
I am sending out a call for bakers, artists, businesses willing to contribute raffle items, and all around good-sorts who would be willing to donate their time and talents to this event, supporting those who live with epilepsy and the service we provide them.
I myself will be hosting/MC'ing the event and providing some live music and would love to invite along other musos who would be willing to participate in this as well.
Please reach out to me at auckland.nth@epilepsy.org.nz if you are keen to contribute or be involved in some way and I hope to see lots of you lovely people there!
