Volunteers Please!! Totara Park Track build, Saturday 1pm

Graeme Sawyer from JCA - Johnsonville Community Association Inc

As you may have seen in the "Independant Herald", JCA are organising another "Track Build" (and tree planting) session at Totara Park this Saturday. We need your help! so please come & "pitch in"
Totara Park is a 2.3 Ha Park nestled between Mclintock St. and the (terminal) end of Broderick Rs. This Track will join the two up, and give some "recreational ameinity" value to piece of regenerating bush that WCC has ignored for decades
We are "on track" to finish this track in about 4 months. If you want to help create a really useful and (we hope!) valuable new track for Johnsonville, please lend us a couple of hours of your time!
Where: Mclintock St (about 50 metres downhill from # 74 Mclintock St.)
When: 1pm Saturday 8 Augist
What to bring: A Spade and workgloves (if you have them - if not, we'll provide!)
Any Questions? (or to sign up for future track build initiatives), Text Graeme Sawyer on 027 444 1748

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🌉🛶 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?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 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?
