IS YOUR CAR READY FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS ROAD TRIP?

Clarksun Automotive

For most of us our biggest work break is over Christmas _ New Year. Due to this, at this time of the year we tend to do a bit more driving than usual. Visit your mechanic, you may require a Service or at least get it checked over completely.
CHECK LIST
Check all fluid levels and top up if required.
Check for worn windscreen wipers.
Check battery charging and condition.
Check all light operation.
General tyre check for wear, inflation and alignment. Also check spare tyre.
Check drive belts, plugs, hoses and connections.
Check suspension.
Oil filter and air filter check.

IMPORTANT TIP BEFORE PACKING THE CAR
Check the weight capacity of the vehicle because excessive weight can cause:
Extra strain on the suspension.
Braking can become less effective.
Sidewalls of tyres can bulge, adding to the risk of a blowout.
Steering can become harder.
The heavier the vehicle the more fuel it will consume.
Distribute the weight evenly as possible, then the vehicle will handle much better.

Happy Holidays

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
