A home gym is a solid investment for your health and well being. We have taken a look at what you need depending on how you like to workout.
People rent out baches, rooms in their houses, their garages and car parking spaces, so surely hiring out swimming pools is the next logical step.
A new app lets people hire their private pools by the hour, but it hasn't come to New Zealand - yet.

Omelettes are essentially a version of scrambled eggs but they have been left to rest and coagulate so that the pan side is firm. Some people prefer firm omelettes, others like to have the egg a little runny so that it retains that soft, silky consistency also known as baveuse.

Ingredients
3 Eggs
1 pinch Salt
½ tsp Butter, or a splash of good quality olive oil
Directions
1. In a bowl whisk the eggs. Add salt.
2. Heat the butter in a frying pan (non-stick is easier) until it is just beginning to brown and has a nutty smell. Let it run around the pan so that it is well coated.
3. Pour in the egg mix. With your rubber spatula, constantly lift and scoop around the edges and cut through the middle of the egg mixture to cook evenly.
4. If you are adding a filling to the omelette, it should be done at this point.
5. Roll or fold the omelette by folding one half on the other, or fold one third on the middle third and then roll on the remaining third.
Prior to folding, you can add a filling to lift the flavour of the omelette.
Classic combinations include:
Saute mushrooms
Blanched spinach (with cream)
Diced ham
A combination of finely chopped herbs such as chives, chervil, parsley, tarragon
Sharing this repair from earlier this year! This was a very technical project, and Tom replaced the missing wooden chunk and made it indistinguishable.

Hi neighbours,
We're to keen to know if pot plant and garden thievery is still a common problem and what people are doing about it.

We're to keen to know if pot plant and garden thievery is still a common problem and what people are doing about it.
If you've had a pot plant or something else taken from your garden in the last year and would like to share, could you please email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name, your neighbourhood and a quick recap of what was taken and how it happened.
We'd love to hear from you!

Hi Neighbours, Love him or hate him, downtown Auckland's (and briefly Manukau's) 5-storey Santa appears doomed because of cost, after nearly 60 years. Should he be saved, and by whom? Read the story below:

People will have to put up with offensive behaviour from difficult tenants if the government goes ahead with plans to remove the 90-day notice period for evictions. What do you think? Should the government keep the 90-day tenant eviction notice? Vote in the poll below.

Arriving in back in Wellington, Colonel Evans pointedly reminded the soldiers of those left behind: “Remember,” he said, “When you go ashore you are not heroes. The heroes lie in France”. Having lost their comrades in the thousands, the soldiers hardly needed to be reminded of their 'luck' in making it through. Yet for those who survived, the physical and mental toll of the war was immense and for many unspeakable. Each service person confronted the psychological and emotional impact of a war unprecedented in its violence in their own personal way.
One soldier who suffered through his war service was Private Ivor Norman (Norm) Fleet 31249. A bushman who enlisted in Taumarunui, Fleet fought with the Wellington Infantry Regiment and received gunshot wounds to both legs during a clean-up operation at Bellevue Spur on 22 October 1917. His right leg was later amputated and he eventually returned to New Zealand where simply carried on with his life, marrying Elsie Petley in 1928, building his own house and forging a long and productive career. Norm rarely spoke of the war and relatives only recall seeing him in tears as his nephews left for the Second World War; a small clue to the pain that returned servicemen held inside. Like Norm, millions suffered silently in the aftermath. Today we honour their service and acknowledge the immeasurable suffering that came from it.
Lest we forget.

Most people agree that the new bulk contracts that Council has let for mowing, litter, cleaning, maintenance are under-performing. Many parts of the contract are not being fulfilled and clearly Council is putting insufficient effort into ensuring we are getting value for money.
Apart from moaning to each other what can we do?
We can log jobs to ensure there is visibility of work not done. I know we pay our rates for people to manage these contracts but this is not being done, at least in my neighborhood. Did you know you can ring 093010101 and log jobs that are not done? Yes you will wait in a lengthy queue (about 12 minutes average for me, longest 25minutes) and then will probably have to ring back to follow up but it is rewarding to finally get the Council to get the contractors to do the work that they are getting paid for (from our money) but not doing.
If you live in my area you may have noticed Moana Ave central traffic/ tree islands haven't been mown for about 3 months but were last week- that's because I rang 093010101 and told them. I go to Onehunga pool and gym and have several times logged a job to clean up the disgraceful litter and tree debris that collects out the front and makes it look third world. First round took 2 months to achieve but was done. The contract is 'outcome based so is not on a regularity but should never be untidy.
Support your community if you have time to make a phone call.
Cheers.
