Kia ora Neighbours, The recent boost of supply from the Waikato River might give the impression that Auckland's water worries are over. Not so. The juggling act with Auckland's supply sources mean rain is still the ultimate answer. Reads the story below:

Since New Zealand plunged into lockdown last week, the laughs for Kiwis have been few and far between.

Some prefer to take their mind off lockdown by trying something new, such as creating mandalas (abstract art) from things found lying around the house or gathered from nature outside.
Others have been finding ways to keep their community entertained during their lockdown strolls around the neighbourhood, including a return of the hugely popular window teddy bears of 2020.
If you're fed up of reading about the negatives of Covid-19, take a read of our story below. We hope it will make you smile. Ngā mihi.

The body of the newborn baby girl, born at full term, was found at Visy Recycling, in Onehunga, on August 16 after being brought to the centre in a truckload of waste.
Maungakiekie-Tamaki ward councillor Josephine Bartley said she had emailed police on Monday night stating that if the newborn was left unclaimed, the Onehunga community could claim her.
