The memes and moments getting the nation through the latest lockdown

Caroline Williams Reporter from Community News

Kia ora neighbours. Since New Zealand plunged into lockdown last week, the laughs for Kiwis have been few and far between.

Apart from Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins’ Freudian slip at an afternoon press conference, where he muddled a message about people stretching their legs and instead said “spread your legs”, the mood of the nation has been heavy and serious.

But as you’d expect, a minister uttering “spread your legs” at a high-profile press conference was music to the ears of meme makers.

Some prefer to take their mind off lockdown by trying something new, such as creating mandalas (abstract art) from things found lying around the house or gathered from nature outside.

Others have been finding ways to keep their community entertained during their lockdown strolls around the neighbourhood, including a return of the hugely popular window teddy bears of 2020.

If you're fed up of reading about the negatives of Covid-19, take a read of our story below. We hope it will make you smile. Ngā mihi.

Kia ora neighbours, an Auckland Councillor and an Onehunga church have offered to claim the baby girl found dead at an Auckland recycling centre, so she can have a proper burial.

The body of the newborn baby girl, born at full term, was found at Visy Recycling, in Onehunga, on August 16 after being brought to the centre in a truckload of waste.

Maungakiekie-Tamaki ward councillor Josephine Bartley said she had emailed police on Monday night stating that if the newborn was left unclaimed, the Onehunga community could claim her.

So why don't they set up a system where your enter your details at home on the covid site. When your details are entered you get a confirmation text code and/or a bar code. So when you get to the testing station you only need to give the code. A system like when you buy event tickets or airline tickets. Your thought please.

I just wanted to see if I could find the owner of a big beautiful fluffy black and white cat that has just been ran over here in Glendene at the bottom of Hepburn Rd. Unfortunately the poor cat has passed, I have an image if anyone suspects it is theirs and can send to them privately. We’ve wrapped him/her up in a blanket and have them safely at our home so they don’t get ran over again. My condolences❤️
