I'm not sure if you've had trouble getting flour in the larger supermarkets during the lockdown like I have, but if you have, I've found some small bags at a dairy at the top of the Onehunga mall road, called "State Dairy". There might also be flour at other dairies, but this is where I found mine. Take care x

That way there are less people having to head outside their bubble and less chance of community transmission. Also, less aggro from waiting in line and finding that what you want to buy has run out....and no panic buying!
There are plenty of things you and your family can do this Easter weekend, with the majority done from the comfort of your home.

Vector has been keeping a close eye on the weather and there's enough concern for them to continue with preparations, including additional measures to keep crews and customers covid safe.
What this means is that it's possible it could take longer to get power back on if there are outages due to the forecast bad weather.
Vector's asking all Aucklanders to:
✔️ Prepare as you normally would when a storm approaches – tie down trampolines, bring in sun umbrellas, make your area as safe as possible to minimise the chance of emergency call outs - have torches and check batteries, and if on tank water, make sure drinking water is stored.
✔️ Take particular note of items that may fly around the neighbourhood during gale force winds – we don’t want people to break their bubbles to retrieve property.
✔️ Not approach Vector teams for their own safety. Please remember physical distancing of 2m.
✔️ Use Vector's Outage Centre (below link) to monitor restoration progress if power is out:
