We all know how good it feels to wake up refreshed, right? Staying hydrated during the day is one of the simplest ways to keep your body and mind happy. But here’s a friendly tip, neighbours — ease up on those big drinks right before bed!

Too much water late at night can lead to those pesky wake-ups.
So, sip smart, neighbours, and drift off into a deep, comfy sleep tonight!

Poll: Are the guidelines around when a child is too sick for school clear?

After reading Flip Grater's opinion piece, Playing germ roulette with our kids’ health, we felt a collective sense of relief - another parent shares our niggling worries.

We wanted to check in with our online neighbours: do you feel the same way? We are all busy, and keeping children home from school is sometimes impossible given other responsibilities. Busy lives and the apparent loss of collective energy around monitoring cold symptoms have led to more students and staff in shared spaces with sniffles and coughs.
But what do you think? Is this a concern?

We want to know: Are there clear Guidelines on when to keep kids off of school?
Should we be having a nuanced conversation about risk management, and how to better support working families?
Share your opinion with us below!

Are the guidelines around when a child is too sick for school clear?

• Yes - The messaging about when to keep kids home is consistent.
• No - I want guidance. An illness response flowchart for my fridge would be handy
• It is more complicated - share your thoughts below.

Choice News Tuesday: Little spotted kiwi rediscovered on mainland Aotearoa

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Kiwi pukupuku (the little spotted kiwi) have been rediscovered in the wild on mainland Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time in five decades!

The pukupuku is the smallest and one of the most vulnerable kiwi species. Only around 2000 birds remain on offshore islands and predator-free sanctuaries, and are the descendants of just 5 birds which had been translocated to Kapiti Island from South Westland in 1912.

The March discovery in the remote Adams Wilderness Area, on the West Coast, is definitely choice news.

Ka pai to the amazing investigation team: DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham and his conservation dog, Brew!

We hope this news brings a smile!

Two Gilt Framed Tondo Mirrors

Warren from Epsom

Two identical round mirrors, straight out of the box, never used, as good as the day they were bought. The diameter or length across from one side to the other is 80cm.

$50 each, or both for $80.

Price: $50

Four Lamp Shades

Warren from Epsom

Four lovely lamp shades, in good condition but they do need a good clean. One has a crack on the bottom, as shown in the picture.

Give me whatever you think they’re worth.

Radio and Tape/Cassette Deck

Warren from Epsom

If anyone needs an old, but still working well, radio cassette deck, this unit is from 1986, bought in Australia, and little used in recent times. The radio and tape deck both still work fine, the speakers are detachable, and there is even a jack so you can input music from another device.

Leaf Vacuum (rather than a leaf blower)

Warren from Epsom

Has been sitting in the garage for a while, but still functions perfectly well, and does a good job sucking up leaves. The front is on a wheel to help support the weight, which makes it lighter and easy to use.

Price: $10

Computer Desk

Warren from Epsom

Needs a good clean, but will come up well. On rollers. Must collect and take away. Free!!

Old Church Pedal Organ / Harmonium

Warren from Epsom

Has been in a wet garage and is not in very good condition at all, so either a do-up job or maybe good for spare parts. If no one wants it, I’ll break it into pieces and dump it, but hopefully someone can take better care of it than I, and restore it to its playing days.
