The law says public holidays exist to observe days of “national, religious, or cultural significance”, but most of our holidays aren’t expressly Kiwi.
We’re overdue the creation of a unifying holiday that honours Aotearoa’s past and celebrates New Zealand’s future. Matariki is that holiday.

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

Employers could offer the option: For those who have a cultural preference - they elect their chosen day, for those who have a chilly preference and prefer the thrills of frozen water, for those who prefer a sweltering day immersed in hot water, their option - but that would be common sense so fat chance of that happening..
ps On my last holiday I broke my arm in two places so my doctor advised me to not visit those places again. Cheers all.

The children with cavities had an average of six teeth that were either decayed, already pulled out or repaired with a filling – that’s 30 per cent of their 20 baby teeth.
The appalling figures have led to renewed pleas to fluoridate Christchurch’s water and for “grazing” eating habits to change.

Hi neighbours,
From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.

From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.
If you have an project that you'd like to show off – whether you’ve given something a fresh coat of paint or entirely changed its use – enter it into Resene's Upcycling Awards on Neighbourly here. Entries close at midnight on August 2, 2020. Four great prizes worth $500 are up for grabs: a $200 Resene voucher and a $300 Prezzy card.

The frogs in Hagley Park, (wonder why we never see UFO's nowadays? cellphones are a great deterrent?). Perhaps they were worried at being hit by those disc golf frisbees - saw one in Queensberry Park yesterday, or maybe it was a UFO I couldn't be sure.

Childrens dentistry is another Neighbourly topic at the moment and if the council doesn't fix the road cavities soon, I wouldn't be surprised to see an adult "pothole golf" appearing as the latest craze. No great outlay on clothes, just a 'high visibility jacket', distance to golf course - right outside your gate, number of holes replaced by 'round the block' and back home to a hot coffee or a more spirited beverage of your choice, handicaps - traffic - well play it by torchlight when there aren't too many 4 wheel critters on the loose attacking peoples fences.
So if anyone wants to contribute or comment to this post I place no hijacking or hijilling restrictions nor do I apologise for drawing your attention to HIJEAN as this is a sanatised post. My friend felt it was better that he didn't appear as some people are very sensitive to his humourous outlook on life.
ps the frogs were last seen at the Ellerslie Flower Show and the lack of anything to fill that vacancy is another cavity in our heritage..
Cheers all and looking forward to those holiday selfies. Not politically correct to say 'holy day' or any politicising comments.
Our reporter Brook Sabin reckons this is one trip every Kiwi should try to do in their lifetime. Read more on the link below. Would you do it?

Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.
Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.
Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.
Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.
We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here
