Hey neighbours,

What if your bedroom is secretly the reason you’re not sleeping well?
Not the stress. Not the coffee. Not even the late-night scrolling — it could be your space itself.

The good news? Turning your room into a cosy sleep sanctuary is easier than you think.

A few simple tweaks can make a massive difference:
1. Calm, soothing colours
2. Clutter-free corners
3. Comfy, quality bedding
4. Smart storage + multifunctional furniture
5. Eco-friendly materials for a fresher feel
6. A touch of tech (only the helpful kind!)

If you’d love a clearer mind and deeper sleep, neighbours, you’ll enjoy this quick read packed with easy ideas:

Brown paper bags

Gordon from Halswell

Is it just me, or are the brown paper bags in the supermarket getting thinner? I bought 6 mandarins, folded the top over and the bad split. It took me two bags, and the lady at the checkout took them out of the 2nd bag to weigh them, so that i was not over charged.👍
I also had a leak in a tray-packed chicken, which dripped onto a bag and guess what happened.
I know for a fact we throw out more produce than we used to, through not being able to see inside the bags, let alone these silly incidents.

I am not complaining, just pointing things out.

Poll: Have you faced any barriers when trying to access primary health care?

Your location can affect how much you pay to see a GP. So, someone on the West Coast might pay around $33, while a person in Wellington might pay closer to $70.

❔ We want to know: Where do you live, and how much do your GP visits cost?

These prices are influenced by underfunding, subsidy caps, and the pressure they put on wages. Read more about how the GP lottery impacts you in Harriet Laughton's piece in The Post.
