clickandcollect.nz... - This website aggregates supermarkets in NZ where there are available click and collect (pick up) slots, so you can shop online at that supermarket for your supplies and choose the next available time to pick. But try to stay as local as possible. The closest one we found in the following few days (not weeks!) was in Grey Lynn and that's about a 15km drive so not too bad. Good luck!

The Tūpuna Maunga Authority is now calling for a total ban on the private sale of fireworks, given it has only been six months since Guy Fawkes night fireworks caused fires on Maungarei and Maungawhau/Mt Eden.
"Only a national ban on the sale of fireworks will prevent them being in the hands of people who continue to put the public and our ancestral heritage at risk," authority chair Paul Majurey said.

Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.
Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.

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.
Here are our 2nd week of challenges. Might help fill in a bit of time and a great thing to do as a family.
