Congratulations to King George Diones , who wins $500 worth of Yates products and $300 worth of Kings Plant Barn vouchers. This surgical nurse in Auckland propagates and sells houseplants. He is currently giving all profits to colleagues in the Philippines to buy PPE.

Light and easy days, free of depressive eating, bingeing and procrastination

Gone are the days of sitting depressed in my flat, unable to function when all I could do was sit and eat, frozen with fear.
I am amazed how some days seem so light and easy. Then that energy disappears and the next moment or 24 hours seem dark and heavy. I’m pleased to report that today was light and easy. Since earlier in the week, I put off writing an email, assessing paperwork, updating documents, finding suitable accommodation for a visiting friend and changing the bed linen! But today, I completed all those tasks with a sense of joy, lightness and ease. I paused throughout each activity and thanked whatever power there is in the universe for that energy and the ease of getting through the tasks effortlessly. The motto, “less effort, maximum benefit” that I heard recently sounded in my heart.
This morning helped me realise the old adage, “this too shall pass!” and the complete practical sense of other slogans I’ve learned in the programme. Another example is, “don’t take yourself too seriously!” I’m appreciating how everything ebbs and flows; one’s energy, the moonlight, the tide on the beach rise and fall, like the sun.
I’m in awe of how it’s possible for a hopeless addict, like me, to not eat addictively - even when some days I feel overwhelmed with chores, people and things, or a feeling of darkness surfaces (and it really is just a feeling). Thankfully, everything passes and, as I mature in sobriety, I really know with all my heart how to keep going.

Because it's shaping up to be a nice(ish) day, we thought we'd share another of Graham Stewart's excellent photos to ease us into the weekend.
Same question as last time - were are we?
This spot in the capital city has changed a wee bit since the photo was taken.
Feel free to share… View moreBecause it's shaping up to be a nice(ish) day, we thought we'd share another of Graham Stewart's excellent photos to ease us into the weekend.

I built an earlier design - the Core Sound 17 and sailed her for a number of years. That boat had a hard chine - when Graham came up with the clinker ply plans I knew I had to build it. When I was in Auckland I had a double garage and could work under cover. I finished 80% of the build. At that point in time we moved to Wellington - and for the last 4 years I have had no covered space to finish the last 10% of the project (mainly painting the cockpit and putting on the side decks). .
I have all the plans, a full set of sails, both masts and a road trailer.
We are moving soon so for a number of reasons it it time to pass the boat to someone else. You could do this as an individual or you might want to have some co-owners to spread the cost. The boat can be sailed singe handed but is happiest with 2 or 4 crew. I will be letting her go for the the cost of materials. I will be available to be a consultant to help on the finishing and rigging.
If you are interested let me know and we can make a time to show you over. I am based in Vogeltown .

Rush took the action as seven councillors sung a short waiata after a move from councillor Jill Day to request a vote on establishing iwi seats on council committees.
He objected to the proposed amendment because it fell outside the scope of the council paper, which is aimed at reviewing the electoral system for the next two elections.
