Washable Face Masks
How are you all coping with the 2nd Lockdown in Auckland? I know it's hit some families hard. I used my "spare" time sewing face masks for my family. When my friends saw them, they said " I want some of them too". So am selling them for just $8 or 2 for $15 + postage or pick up from Sunnyhills. It's been a great way to use up the material I have stored for many years. And for every mask sold, I am donating $1 to Howick Croquet Club. Please let me know how many you would like. I have attached a photo of me and my granddaughter on the morning of the 2nd lockdown. I have used up all of the bright material Issy & I are wearing but still have plenty of options. Looking forward to helping you keep "covered" from COVID.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
