"Freedom" on a Tuesday night - there's nothing like it.

With the shift to Level 2, conversation around the "new normal" continued. Part of our club's "new normal" is our Toast Rack resource library - Terry debuted the Content Editor role, which is now a fixture of our meetings.

Norbert's Table Topics got us thinking about what we didn't do during lockdown; Andy convinced us of the benefits of working from home; and Dianne gave us her take on the topic of Leadership Styles.

Come and add your jazz hands to our screen on 9 June....we look forward to meeting you

SEABREEZES, SUNRISES AND SUNSETS
Available from 13 June
Lease to 31 Jan 2021

Trademe Listing 2642201595
www.trademe.co.nz...

Could there be a better place to work from home?
Stunning views while you work and lovely bays to walk, run or bike around at lunchtime.

Sitting above Worser Bay with majestic views over the new yacht club to Seatoun, Eastbourne and the harbour entrance beyond, this light, bright and airy townhouse is the perfect lock and leave alternative to an apartment.

Incredible open living with vaulted ceiling, topped with a full wrap-around skylight, makes the most of the sun while wide bi-folding doors lead to a generous deck - perfect for entertaining or just soaking in the view.

Two of three large double bedrooms on the lower floor also enjoy the views while the third looks into the sheltered courtyard. A private deck can be accessed from the main bedroom. The gorgeous bathroom is fully tiled and offers a sophisticated experience. A separate, second washroom is located upstairs.

Excellent proximity to shops, schools, bus routes, Weta, Park Road and Stone Street Studios, cafes / restaurants, beaches, Wellington airport and the CBD. So close to everything but feels like you're on holiday!

Watch the sun rise from behind the Orongorongo mountain range in the morning. Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck as the sun fades in the evenings. Listen to the waves breaking gently as you fall asleep and wake up in the morning.

Low-tech solution

The Team from Wellington Water

Sometimes a low-tech tool is the answer.

A blocked stormwater pipe in Titahi Bay led to a CCTV investigation, which identified a blockage about 7 meters from the manhole cover. A water jetter was winched through the pipe and cleared out cans, bottles, Lego blocks and other bits of plastic, but a … View more
Sometimes a low-tech tool is the answer.

A blocked stormwater pipe in Titahi Bay led to a CCTV investigation, which identified a blockage about 7 meters from the manhole cover. A water jetter was winched through the pipe and cleared out cans, bottles, Lego blocks and other bits of plastic, but a tangle of roots seen on the screen wouldn’t budge.

Here we have Servicepersons Grayson (at the back holding the handle) and Tito using a corkscrew extended to 7 meters to clear roots out of the pipe.
