Auckland Heritage Festival to uncover secrets and stories of the past
See Aotea Square in its former glory using a new augmented reality app bringing the 1800s to 2020; hear why women weren’t expected to respond to the call of nature in public places until 1910; and prepare to be intrigued by unexpected artefacts found in the rubble of recent city works.
These are just some of the stories Auckland Heritage Festival is weaving into words, walks, pictures, parks, talks, poetry and songs as Auckland Council prepares to pack well over 100 free and low-cost events into two weeks from September 26 to October 11.
Event holders are set up to follow the Covid-19 protocols required at the prevailing alert level and mass gathering limit. However, if a 10-person mass gathering limit remains in place on 26 September, every endeavour will be made to move events online.
Councillor Alf Filipaina said there is something in the festival’s storytelling for everyone including special events for children during the school holidays.
The programme of events has been designed to entertain, inform and enlighten with 2020’s intriguing theme: Uncover secrets and stories of Tāmaki Makaurau.
The 2020 festival programme will go live at heritagefestival.co.nz on September 10.
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?

Discipleship and Leadership within our Community of Today's Society
Tēnā koe (Hi) Neighbours,
I trust that this finds you well.
I would like to share a collection of articles, which I have written that engage with Christian discipleship and our calling to live faithfully before the true Triune God. These are offered simply as invitations to prayerful consideration, with the hope that they may encourage deeper attentiveness to Christ’s righteousness and a renewed commitment to showing compassion, sympathy, and empathy toward others, particularly those who have experienced seasons of hardship.
I would like to encourage you to explore the articles at the links below:

For any of you that is unfamiliar with Substack, it is a free platform that allows Christians to read and share faith-based writing, encourage one another in spiritual formation, and bear faithful witness through words shaped by grace and humility.
On a final note, here is a link to my sister’s medical research regarding people with neurodivergence: www.liebertpub.com....
Let us, as part of the Body of Christ and as a local community, seek to grow as an inter-generational and generationally diverse community, to repent of past actions that have caused hurt to others, and to let go of what divides us, so that we may live together in harmony and unity.
Thank - you.
Atua (God) Bless.
URGENT - Roaming Cat Disturbing our Rest During Silent Hours !
Tēnā koe (Hi) Neighbours,
First and foremost, I wish to bring to your attention an ongoing concern regarding the repeated presence of roaming cats within our property boundary during both daytime and nighttime hours. Previously, one cat had been entering our property in this manner; however, more recently, a second cat has also begun accessing our backyard and roof area.
On one occasion, late at night or in the early hours of the morning, I was unable to sleep due to persistent noise on our roof, which clearly appeared to be caused by the cat. On another evening, while having dinner, I directly observed the cat entering our backyard, climbing onto our veranda, and subsequently moving onto the roof.
Notwithstanding this, members of our household experience asthma, eczema, and allergy-related sensitivities, and the continued presence of roaming animals within our immediate living environment is adversely affecting our health and well-being, thereby creating unnecessary disturbance and avoidable risk within our residential space.
I therefore respectfully request that appropriate steps be taken to ensure pets are properly supervised and prevented from entering neighbouring properties.
Thank - you.
