45 before 45 - ideas please!
I had a birthday this week, and being the mad planner that I am, I'm creating a list of things to do before my next birthday - which will be my 45th.
So, I'm after ideas for things to put on my list of 45 things to achieve by the time I'm 45.
A couple of qualifiers: I'm not into adrenaline, so no jumping out of planes or off bridges. And they need to be things that I can do, and things that any normal person with normal resources would be able to achieve - no flying rockets into outer space or anything.
So far I've got:
1. Play a round of golf
2. Compete in a sport
3. Smash NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)
4. Read 'The Bone People' (again)
I'll be setting up a blog and tracking progress online and in print, so come at me with your best ideas - even something that you set out to accomplish and achieved and gave you a real sense of achievement. Would love to hear your stories as well!

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
