With special New York-based guest presenter and teacher Boijayanti, sharing her meditation skills and insights during her short NZ visit.

For most people the mind has become the master, not the servant it should be – how do we regain control, cultivate a quiet and peaceful mind, a stillness in the body and the breath?

These informal and informative evenings will help with answers, covering the simple but often overlooked essentials of meditation and sharing a toolkit of techniques you can practice and explore. Our guest presenter Boijayanti is a longtime practitioner of meditation and was fortunate to have the guidance of the late Indian spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy (www.srichinmoy.org) – she shares these inspirational teachings with humor and simplicity.

Usher in the New Year with positive new life skills, clarity of purpose and a peaceful mind and heart – you only need the sincerity to make a start.

When: Tuesdays / Thursdays, February 11, 13, 18: 7:30pm – 9pm nightly

Venue: The Fickling Centre, 546 Mt Albert Road, Three Kings, Mt Eden.

Free admission, however registration is required to accommodate numbers attending. Please register to Jogyata on Whatsapp 0221887432.

Backyard Awards: Best Loved Lawn winner

We spoke with his about his process to keep his lawn beautiful and there may be some blades of advice for your own backyard.

Mark has a huge backyard so during Covid times, he decided to renovate the lawn and garden just for something to do. It’s turned into a passion.

His lawn is 100% rye grass - sourced from Prebble Seeds Turf World who supply many golf courses around New Zealand. In the summer he mows it every 2-3 days, sometimes daily, and waters the lawn with a deep soak of about an hour at a time, 2-3 times a week. He uses a granular slow release lawn fertiliser and other liquid fertilisers also.

Mark shares:
'I would say the secret to getting a good lawn is consistent mowing - at least twice a week. Maybe buy a bulk bag of slow release lawn fertiliser from a wholesaler. Keep the grass longer and just take the very top off the blade when you mow. It promotes growth, thickens it up and will really help with stopping weeds - oh, and water. Expect a water bill if you want a good lawn.'

The first photo below shows the 'Before' shot, 4 years ago. Give Mark a Like on this post if you think his lawn is pretty top notch!

Poll: Should our summer school holidays move to February?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's a debate that resurfaces each year as weather hits its peak just as kids head back to school.
Traditionally, we've paired the school holidays in NZ with the Christmas period, but would a shift to February make more sense for everyone?

Should our summer school holidays move to February?

• Yes, February would be better
• No, keep it as is

Framework Doors - Home Security Advice

Nick from Framework Doors

I've put together some quick advice around home security. Hope it's of interest, drop a comment if you have anything else you'd like to add. Thanks and have a great week.

Immediate actions:
- Secure your belongings: Pretty simple. Don't leave packages unattended, bring in valuables from your car and make sure doors and windows are locked. I learnt the hard way having a scooter stolen off our porch in the middle of the night (it wasn't chained to anything - my bad, won't make that mistake again).

- Neighbourhood watch: If you don't already have one, consider starting a neighbourhood watch group, even if it's just a whatsapp chat with your immediate neighbours - letting them know if you're coming and going for extended periods of time, need help bringing in bins, clearing letterbox etc.

- Report suspicious activity: If you see anything unusual, report it to the police and neighbours. A lot of the time it's the same (small) group of people, known to authorities. Even small details can be helpful.

- Don’t hide your spare key under a welcome mat – or under a pot plant...or just anywhere that seems obvious!

Longer-term solutions:
- Security cameras: Installing security cameras can be a deterrent and provide evidence if something does happen. Places like PB Tech have got pretty decent, affordable, super easy to install cameras (tbh just having something/anything there that resembles a camera and is clearly visible can be enough to discourage opportunists).

- Further to this, clearly displaying a sticker from a security company on your windows can also be a useful deterrent.

- Outdoor lighting: Well-lit areas can also deter unwanted visitors.

- Upgrade your locks: Consider investing in stronger locks for your doors and windows. Deadbolts are great as they prevent people getting in, while also making it much harder to get out with large items like a TV.

For those still reading, Framework Doors specialises in locally-made and beautiful looking steel security doors (see image). While they're not the only solution, they do add an extra layer of protection and peace of mind. They install directly into the existing door frame and come in a range of designs, colours etc. Good for keeping intruders out and great for keeping pets, kids etc contained, while also allowing passive airflow and sunlight into the house.

If you'd like to know more, please reach out. I'm happy to offer advice, even if you're not ready to purchase right away.

Happy holidays and summer time.
