Rubbish day
Does anyone know why they changed the bin days in Ellerslie from Tuesday to Thursday?
I have recently noticed that now my bin along with many others on my street are over flowing with rubbish by the time Wednesday morning comes. My guess is a lot of people & children are off work & school etc during the weekends and so are home and able to accumulate more rubbish which was normally to be emptied on the Tuesday morning.
It only seems like 2 days difference but I just want to understand why it changed.

There’s growing debate about whether New Zealand’s extended Christmas break (and the slowdown that comes with it) affects productivity.

A tip for the Season Of Overwhelm
Hi Neighbours, are you feeling overwhelmed? Multi-tasking. Said yes too much? Or not saying no enough. Committing and then not getting as much done as expected. Too many things on the to-do list .... And now it’s the holiday season and everything is on turbo-charge!
Here’s one tip that can help move your attention for a moment’s break from all that over-thinking and relentless planning.
Use your body as a way of becoming present. Take advantage of short moments of waiting, or find a pause during the day to switch your attention to what you are feeling in your body at this moment.
Start by taking an intentional breath into your chest and down through your abdomen. Emphasize the exhale to get all the air out. From there, you might simply feel the weight and the connection of your body to the chair you’re sitting in or your feet to the ground.
If you would like to train your ability to cope with overwhelm, good-quality mindfulness training is proven to help.
