A TALE OF WOE
Yesterday I was expecting to have delivered 2 chairs and footstools, 1 bed with small feet and headboard. What I got was 1 chair and footstool and 1 bed with high feet. Now I had paid over $8k for the furniture and had to wait 5 weeks for delivery. So was I happy? Nope not happy, stressed, upset but not happy. I was in full "karen* mode. The business I was dealing with BIG Save, yeap a local business who failed majorly on this. I was told once missing chair was found it could take 2-3 days to be delivered, after waiting 5 weeks already and it was 1 of them that lost it? I don't think so. The chair had been with rest of order but had been taken to Napier instead. I tried to talk to regional manager but they were in a meeting but would "call me back" still waiting on that call. I did get a call to say rest of order will be here today. Yeah not holding my breath it will be correct. This has been a complete disaster. Will never deal with BIG SAVE again. Has anyone else have this happen to them?
Update order arrive correct this time. Yea. However it seems my chair was in warehouse the whole time but someone had sold it and a different person's name on it destined for Palmy! So not only did I receive only half my order but big porkies told to me as well. Lovely dealing with a local company NOT!!!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
