Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail youโ€™ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So weโ€™re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course ๐ŸŒฟ)

๐ŸŒ‰๐Ÿ›ถ Early Birds Might Crack This One Firstโ€ฆ or Not? ๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿง 

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?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

๐Ÿชฑ๐Ÿฆ When are you the most productive? ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿฆ‰

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 isnโ€™t just a choiceโ€”itโ€™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?

Poll: Have you noticed a change in fuel prices?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato businesses and consumers are shrugging off volatile fuel prices - for now.

A barrel of Brent crude spiked to US$117 - the highest levels since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 - on Monday before diving on Tuesday morning (NZT) to about US$85 per barrel. Prices later recovered to US$90 a barrel.

Have you noticed a change in fuel prices? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
