This Saturday we have FREE electrical repairs at Auckland Library of Tools!
We've got great news! A certified electrician has joined the "Repair & Share" team! So gather your toasters and your kettles and come on by to see us at the repair café this Saturday, 11-2, for repairs in small home appliances and other electrical items, in addition to our regular repairs in sewing, electronics, wood and general repair. We'll have yummy treats, and delicious coffee compliments of Kokako Organic Coffee! www.kokako.co.nz...
Our electrician will be with us pretty regularly, but be sure to check the event to see what repairs are on each week. Let's get fixed!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
