Neighbours, I need your help
My beautiful best friend has just been diagnosed with leukaemia, and I'm devastated as all heck. As we forge ahead with treatment plans, she is well supported and surrounded with love.
She will lose all her beautiful hair, and I've taken up my needles to knit her some hats. And knitting is a great thing to do in a hospital. There are even beautiful people out there that knit hats and donate them to the ward!
Neighbours, I need wool of the 8 ply variety, it doesn't have to be pure wool, but it needs to be soft to support with love people going through treatment. I'd like to keep my shaking, scared hands busy knitting hats to donate to Wellington Cancer Ward, but I only have two balls of wool.
Now, I am woefully, criminally and sadly underemployed, despite undertaking tertiary study as an adult, and being quite smart. And that means I'm broke in a hand-to-mouth, this really sucks! sort of way.
I'm happy to pick up anything kindly donated. A hat takes about 1-1/2 skeins of 50 gm balls. I'm a novice knitter, but I'm taking up the needles for a cause, and I hope some of you can help me with donated balls of wool.
Thanks very much neighbours
πͺ±π¦ When are you the most productive? ππ¦
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isnβt just a choiceβitβs 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: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.8% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.2% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

What is it?
