Large heap of Lego
If you look for a way to keep the kids entertained then these are a great way to encourage creativity (and get the kids off Tik-Tok - it rots the brain!).
These are Lego bricks made by PDL NZ (not LEGO), and they have a little hole in the studs so that bricks can be more easily disassembled (I guess everyone had it that a little underpressure build up between two blocks and it is near impossible to separate them? Can't happen here, so they are better designed)..
Otherwise they are just like Lego (and Lego-compatible) and work fine with normal Lego building bricks.

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!
