Luna was found deep in the ditch late on Friday night after being stuck for at least a day.

It took 90 minutes for Fire and Emergency New Zealand and New Zealand Police officers to pull the female kitten to safety.

The animal was not micro-chipped and had not been reported missing.

So one of the constables at Counties Manukau Police adopted and named the cat.

Luna's now happy and settled with a healthy appetite to boot.

They can get practical support with their CVs and cover letters, viewing job websites, discussing skill sets or free online training through Lynda.com

Library staff will also connect Aucklanders with skills development, education and training courses.

Auckland Council library staff are being up-skilled to provide employment and skills advice to their communities using the new Work Navigator service piloted by the Te Manawa community hub in Westgate.

The goal is to help people recover from job losses caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The libraries involved in phase 1 of the region wide Work Navigator rollout are Botany, Central City, Glen Eden, Glenfield, Helensville, Māngere East, Manukau, Mt Albert, Mt Roskill, and Ōtāhuhu.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff said the initiative provides extra support for people who may have lost work because of Covid-19.

"The pandemic and resulting recession has caused businesses to close and jobs to be lost in our region," he said.

"We want to do what we can to help Aucklanders find work or gain skills to improve their employment options, and through this programme our libraries staff are well placed to deliver those services."

Sick of Tradie Mess??

Shamus O'Donnell from No Shock Electrical

There's nothing worse than someone doing a job and leaving your house in a mess and not cleaning up at the end of the job.

Thats why here at No Shock we always carry vacuum cleaners and make sure our work sites are spick and span after the works completed

Dark Kitchens?

Shamus O'Donnell from No Shock Electrical

Are you kitchen benches looking a little dark?
Some LED strip lighting is a great way to lighting up the area. You can even go colour changing. Integrate with all your smart Apps to turn off on on or even dance to the music.

Stitch in time comes full circle

An idea sparked 20 years ago has come full circle for embroiderer Diana Barker.

It took a month of painstaking work to create her colour wheel embroidery during Auckland's lockdown.

The project idea stemmed from a visit to Coventry Cathedral during the 1990s while holidaying in Britain.

Barker, an Auckland Embroiderer's Guild member, was inspired by the cathedral's modern take on rose windows and wanted to portray this.

Lacking a full set of colours, she left some spaces, which reflect the gaps in the cathedral windows where light seeps through.

Her work on fine linen features a frame bought from Asia.

Barker's creation will be exhibited at the Auckland Embroiderer's Guild Annual Display, from October 31 to November 8.

The show runs from 10am to 4pm daily at Onehunga Community Centre.

Barker said she was happy to have the extra time during lockdown to bring the idea to fruition.

The former president joined the guild soon after its formation in the early 1970s.

Now retired, she relishes the time she has to devote to stitching.

The guild meets in Mt Eden, Auckland for workshops and to hear monthly speakers.

Embroiderer Diana Barker created this colour wheel during Auckland's lockdown.
