Would you rather sleep in a cosy cabin in the mountains ?️ or on a sandy beach by the sea ?️?
Imagine wrapping yourself up in a warm blanket, surrounded by nature, with the fresh mountain air lulling you to sleep. Or, falling asleep to the calming sound of ocean waves, the soft breeze, and the feeling of sand beneath your toes.
Which one sounds like your dream escape for a perfect night’s rest? Let us know your favourite!

This was a hit at all the major festivals and it very much looks to be our best film for the year, so don't miss it.
Our 8pm screening is the French comedy, Mr Blake at Your Service, starring John Malkovich and Fanny Ardent.
THE PRESIDENT'S WIFE
France (subtitles), 2023, Comedy, Drama
94 mins, Rated M (Strong language)
Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Denis Podalydès
When Jacques Chirac was elected President of France in the 1990s, he considered himself part of a new, political elite. Unlike his wife, Bernadette who was - well, just a wife.
Bernadette had been in the background for years, tirelessly supporting Jacques' quest to attain the presidency. Now victorious, she yearns for the support and appreciation of the nation but Bernadette learns she is viewed as old-fashioned, out of touch and emotionally cold.
But having spent years of negotiating behind the scenes, Bernadette's political instincts are finely honed. And now that Jacques is President, she has no desire to continue being the little woman behind the Great Man.
So, Bernadette ditches the pearls and silk scarves, reinvents herself and makes it her mission to claim her own space in the spotlight, using her wit and political skills to champion just causes and to hopefully win the respect of the French people.

It’s natural to want to step in when a loved one faces challenges with tasks they once managed easily. However, instead of taking over completely, finding a balance that offers support while still encouraging independence is key.
Chris Sinclair, Ryman's Community Liaison Leader, shares helpful tips for families and caregivers on how to promote independence and support overall wellbeing.

I posted a message about the disappearing rubbish bins in Whangarei a week or so ago (but I limited the area). However, I’ll leave this open to a wider area this time.

However, I’ll leave this open to a wider area this time. Apparently this is not just limited to Whangarei. However, I went to the Whangarei District Council website, and sent a general enquiry email as to why this was happening. About a week later, I did get a phone call back. I had mentioned two particular bins that had been removed. The man I spoke with was not aware they had been removed! What I found out is that the rubbish bins are emptied by an outside contractor, not city workers. They come and say they find maybe a single coffee cup in a bin and think the bin doesn’t need to be there, so THEY remove the bin! The more I thought about this, the more I thought this is pure laziness - the more bins removed, the less work that has to be done. How much effort does it take to look in a bin and see the liner does not need to be changed? Where one bin has been removed, there is now rubbish in it’s place. I noticed the bins at a couple of bus stops have also been removed, and there is rubbish on the ground - exactly where the bins used to be! I have been told that one of the bins I emailed about will be replaced. And I will follow up on that if it isn’t back in place in two weeks. (This outside contractor is also supposed to be picking up rubbish twice a week along the Kamo shared pathway as well!)
So - if you noticed bins are missing and they need to be put back, send an email to WDC and tell them the location and that there is rubbish there and the bin needs to be replaced! Rate payers are paying for this service, no doubt.
