Rob from Burnside

To whom it concerns, hi I am writing to you, to inform you of a new club I have formed “Pacific Fleet Windsurfing inc” A non profit club, this winter to focus on introducing a summer sport to all kids but focusing on Maori and pacific kids to help redirect their attentions away from contact sports and couch sports and back into an outdoors healthy exciting self-satisfying extreme sport of windsurfing a sport that I feel has not been presented to maori and pacific peoples for a range of miss guided reasons, so I ask your firm if you or any of your workers kids would like to participate in this exciting opportunity,

Ok so lets do a Pro’s and Cons!

Pro’s: builds pride in achieving a hard to learn exciting sport

healthy adrenaline sport natural stress release,

combat’s mental illness, keeps you physically fit,
Good for weight loss during winter, toughens you up,

teaches discipline, provides drive and ambition with perseverance.

Cons: bad for relationships, during windy periods.

Constant desire to escape work during windy days

an addiction to Metsurvice and Windguru. wind information sites,

A drive to know weather conditions during conversations then an unexplained reason to leave conversation at a moment's notice.

Unplanned expenditures at local sports shops during financial crucial moments.

Loss of memory to were you have been for most of the day.

Please bring your kids out to enjoy one of nature's true gifts, and join now to start the passion for summer

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
