While the sun still shines...

Adam from Adam's Painting

I just finished staining this deck before the wet weather arrived this week. Fortunately, the temperatures are still warm enough for outdoor painting. If you are wanting to paint outside, be aware that the winter is creeping up on us pretty fast. Make the most of these warmer autumn days as winter temperatures and wetter days certianly make painting outdoors more challenging!

🪱🐦 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?

Rubbish data leaves $3m hole in Waikato District Council’s refuse budget

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s still not known how it happened but an accounting cock-up over rubbish stickers has left a $3 million hole in Waikato District Council’s annual budget.

Last month, the council was told it faced a deficit of $3.9m, mainly due to a correction to its user-pay refuse sticker revenue budget - basically, it wrongly estimated how much money it would take in from sales of council rubbish stickers.
