Weekly Grey Lynn Repair Café, on this Saturday 11-2

Amanda from Grey Lynn

Hi from Repair & Share and the Auckland Library of Tools!
www.aucklandlibraryoftools.com...

This week we welcome the incredibly talented artist Jan Alldritt-Miller to the team! She is with us this Saturday August 24th, offering paint touch-ups on your old watercolor, acrylic or oil paintings. She's eager to see what you've got, so bring in granny's old painting for a little refresh!
(No repairs of frames, canvas, or damaged paper. No removals of mould or watermarks, though if minor she can disguise them with paint!)
Please bring your paintings in before 1:00 for a chance at a touch-up.

EDIT: We previously announced electrical appliance repairs, however our electrician will not be with us this Saturday due to illness. We still offer repairs in sewing, wood, general, and small electronics. Stay tuned for our next electrician announcement!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
