Holey socks

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Is anyone interested in stitching together old socks to make pet blankets for the SPCA? I have a small pile and no talent or patience for the task.

I knew a lady years ago who used to do it, because it saved throwing out socks that could still be used, and it gave the SPCA bedding for rescue animals. At $1 per pair for socks, it's cheaper to replace than repair them these days, so the piles grow.

If anyone has the time, patience and talent to do it, I'm happy to collect them (clean please).

19mm plywood needed

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Would anyone happen to have any 19mm plywood offcuts to spare? I need some for shelving.
I need two each of 670 x 260mm and 530 x 410mm, so bigger would be fine. I can cut it down.

🌉🛶 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?
