Poll: When's too early for DIY?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We can all generally agree that noise from loud music or parties in the early hours of Sunday is a no-no. But when is it okay to fire up the power tools, leaf blower or lawn mower on a Sunday morning?

We're not saying 'Ka kite' to 'Kia ora' but let's challenge ourselves a little more for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori...

Held from the 11th-17th September, Māori Language week gives us a chance to celebrate our beautiful national language. Maybe you'll be celebrating by watching the Toku Reo videos and using Te Aka (Maōri Dictionary) to improve your knowledge, or maybe you've found a buddy for the week that will only kōrero in te reo with you. Ka pai!

If you're a fan of chocolate, we have five blocks of Whittakers Miraka Kirīmi tiakarete to give away. Whether long or short, simply share your show-off phrase below to be in to win. (Winners randomly drawn and notified on Mon, 18th Sept).

Kia ora koutou katoa, Shalom & Talofa lava,
On Saturday the 23rd of September 2023 we have the Crystillery Pop Up from 8am to 12noon at the Riverhead Citizens Hall.

For this month as Spring arrives in, we have a wonderful collective sharing and selling their creative pieces with you. As always we are supported by:

3 Lefts Art with Andy and Hanae who showcase, act and sell on behalf of local artists

Heritage Indian Café coupons for a coffee and Saturday morning home baked butter chicken pie! from Navdeep and Anmol (Namaste!)

Bruce Davey (Carver) and whānau who are Multimedia Artistes with their wonderful range of cards, gluten free wheat bags and jewellery

Crystillery Custom Goddess Jewels, Crystals Fossil and Stone Finds crafted and sourced by Riverhead local Leonard (and co-organiser)

Tarot (Rider Waite) Readings $40 - 30mins with Lisa with 22 years reading experience + vintage/retro curated pieces. LIsa will be starting at Crystal Visions Markets with the community of readers from October. Thank you Michelle from Crystal Visions x

And additional to the collective this month we welcome Innes Nisbet who will community to kōrero/chat about sustainability and rubbish reduction, Patrice Murdoch from Mandala Massage in the board room space offering massage! Helen Hare from our local Hare Krishna community with her lovingly hand-made beads and Carol Peace who enjoys creative knitting, colour and crafts positive message dolls. The children will love these and they are super well priced.

Locals Leonard and Lisa continue to thank local community and locality creatives for the continued support to get this pop-up market off the ground in Riverhead. We found out recently there is no funding for creatives in Riverhead! Something clearly needs to change at local council for this.

And of course, we all thank the local community for coming along, buying products that are hand crafted and having a kōrero/chat too. It has been refreshing to meet with people and hearing life stories in a post pandemic context now...

We look forward to welcoming you to the market on Saturday 23rd September 8am to 12 noon at the Riverhead Citizens Hall. Look for the signage outside!

Ngā tauwhirotanga o te wā

Lisa and Leonard | Pop up organisers of the Crystillery Collective

Next Pop Ups are:

October 22 | 1000 Goddesses Pop-up

November 11

December 9 | Christmas and Santa Pop- up

Put down the coffee, feed your brain every weekday and hopefully have a bit of fun in the process.

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.

You get one scramble of letters, one cryptic clue and one tense minute to unscramble the letters and guess the answer.

Proudly brought to you by Neighbourly, The Hard Word can be found 9am weekdays on Stuff. Give it a go today - if you dare…
