If so, you may be an introvert!

2. Unpacking the extrovert ideal (and how this impacts introverts)

A hardship fund costing Auckland ratepayers $12 million is to be set up for businesses that have been negatively affected by the construction of the City Rail Link.

The fund was announced by Transport Minister Michael Wood and mayor Phil Goff on Friday morning, and while it was welcomed by the city’s business association, it said it was “long overdue”.

Do you believe this is a good use of taxpayer and ratepayer money?

Hi everyone,
I’m Kim, a certified personal trainer, and I work at the City Fitness in Three Kings. I am also certified in Corrective Exercise.

Since we are in lockdown for at least another 2 weeks, I wanted to offer my services online. I can only assume that most of you will be sitting all day, especially when it’s raining.
Sitting for long periods of time is detrimental to good posture and healthy movement. This is why I would like to offer my services for free.

I will give you full body exercises and stretches that won’t take up much of your time. So, if you’re working, you should still be able to (hopefully) fit them in and you could even get the family involved. The important thing is to get up from your chair and move.

Even if you’re not interested in doing exercise, there are still a few things you could do to improve movement, like:
Set an alarm every hour and:
- walk around the house and stretch your legs,
- roll your shoulders and neck,
- stretch your chest and back.

If you’re interested in a bit of exercise, send me an email on kimmekehoffmann@gmail.com or message me privately here on Neighbourly.

Thank you,
Kim

Severe rainfall causes flooding in Auckland, around 60 homes evacuated

Aucklanders are being forced to evacuate their homes after severe rainfall overnight caused localised flooding.

Around 50 to 60 homes have been evacuated and an emergency shelter has been set up at 6 Henderson Valley Road.

West Auckland has been hit the worst with flooding in Helensville, Kumeu, Henderson Valley and Rānui.

Firefighters received around 170 weather related calls overnight.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said evacuation advice overrides Covid-19 restrictions.

Auckland’s two vaccination centres at the Trusts Arena and the Airport have been damaged and will not open until 11am.

SH16 through Kumeu is closed due to flooding between Matua Road and Riverhead Road, and Waka Kotahi has reports of fallen trees and slips across the wider network.

MetService said heavy rain is expected to continue throughout Tuesday.

Neighbourly spokesperson Sarah Moore encourages people to check in on their neighbours - especially if they’re elderly or alone.

“But ensure you're abiding by Level 4 rules consider emailing, texting or using Neighbourly to send a message. Even if they're doing well, the connection will mean a lot,” she said.

“When there's a break in the weather carefully head outside to check whether anything is blocking your drains or has come loose in a storm. Don't rush - things could be slippery. If you do notice damage make sure you take photos in case you need to lodge an insurance claim.”
