When I heard there would be changes to the consent rules around building sleep outs, I was excited. I've always wanted a tea house in my back yard... a garden room where I can do a bit of potting, maybe read a book, or just cool off in the shade.

The Comrades is an 89km ultra marathon held annually in South Africa, attracting thousands of competitors from around the world. This year it has been cancelled due to Covid 19, and the organisers decided to hold a virtual comrades instead, where competitors can do 89km wherever they are and post their times and routes back to the event site.
My mum is currently in Titahi Bay, so decided to do it around the area. She plans on power walking the full 89km in under 14 hours. Her route will take her from Titahi Bay through Porirua, up to Pukerua Bay, back to Linden, and eventually finishing doing untold number of laps around Aotea lagoon.
If you are in the area and you see a tiny old lady with a stapled-together foam cap, walking like the blazes in the area between 5am 7pm, please give a shout of support.
