To Lovely Lady From Pukekohe

Christina from Pukekohe

To the lovely lady, who met my son at the $2 shop, and saw that he was stressed, thank you. You asked if he was okay, and he told you he was been chased by High School boys. (Son, first year intermediate.), You decided to walk him home, as he was frightened, and for a bit, the boys followed you., but eventually left. Thank you. You rang for me to meet up, with my son, but by the time I got there, you were gone. So I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you did for my son, and how I won't forget your kind act, of helping a young one in need. Thank you for the water, he says. Thank you for helping him, he says. A thousand thank you's isn't enough. It maybe a small deed to some, but my heart is full of praise for the wonderful deed, you did today. Thank you...

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
