For some, it's a chance for an epic Easter egg hunt and for others, it may be a trip to church. For some, it might just be a few days of sleeping in.
We'd love to know, how do YOU mark Easter each year?

Police would like to hear from anyone who may have information that may relate to this offending to come forward.
Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Williamson says while the man is before the court, Police believe there may have been further alleged offending.
The first incident occurred shortly before midday on Friday 6 February on Daly Street, and the second incident on Friday 27 March on the Hutt River Trail near Ava.
"The victims in these incidents were jogging before the reported incidents, and we would like to speak with anyone who may have seen any suspicious behaviour around these areas.
"We would also like to hear from anyone who may have been victim to related offending in the Hutt River Trail and Central Lower Hutt areas," says Detective Senior Sergeant Williamson.

Police have a number of officers and detectives dedicated to these cases, and we provide a safe space to report offending in confidence.
If you have any information or would like to report similar offending, please contact us online at 105.police.govt.nz or call 105.

Keen cyclists and walkers are looking forward to using the new shared path on the Western side of Wellington Harbour. An exact opening date is yet to be announced, but it looks like it will be fairly soon. Here's a cartoon I drew on this subject.

Leaves, moss, and debris build up over time, preventing water from flowing away properly. When gutters overflow, that water can end up running down walls, into foundations, or even inside your home.
A professional gutter clean now can help prevent:
✔ Water damage to your roof and walls
✔ Overflowing gutters during heavy rain
✔ Blocked downpipes and drainage issues
✔ Costly repairs

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Te Tari Pureke - Firearms Safety Authority NZ, which chairs the Recreational Firearms Users Group, has begun a public information campaign reminding hunters everywhere of Rule #4 of the Firearms Safety Code: to identify their target beyond all doubt.
Director Communities and Corporate, Mike McIlraith, says there is an estimated 50,000-60,000 New Zealanders involved in big game animal hunting each year, and the Roar is the key event for many hunters each year.
“The Roar is a fantastic time of year for hunters to get out into the hills after a trophy animal but hunting safely and making sure everyone gets home in one piece, still must be the most important goal of every trip,” says Mike McIlraith.
“The consequences of not fully identifying your target beyond all doubt can be catastrophic. Our message to hunters is a really simple one: If you are not sure, then don’t shoot.”
Mike McIlraith says while hunting fatalities are thankfully rare, research has shown that misidentification of the target is the largest firearms related risk to New Zealand deer hunters, and 80% of the time this involves members of the same hunting group.
The Authority says hunters should not feel pressured to take a shot: “Instead, hunters should take the time to analyse their target, wait and see if it is a hind or stag, how old is the animal, how many points does its antlers have? Identifying your target means never firing at sound, shape, colour or movement alone.”
Mike McIlraith says good hunters will slow down, and run through some simple mental checks:
- Can I see the whole animal, or could this be another hunter?
- Where are my hunting companions – could this be them or someone else?
- How much of the animal can you see, if it is a hind or stag, how old is the animal, how - many points does its antlers have?
“Taking a little extra time to identify your target and check the firing zone is the key to safer hunting. No meat or no trophy is better than no mate,” he says.
