I live on Mission Road, and for the past few weeks a big ginger tomcat has taken residence at my front door. I made the mistake of feeding him, and now he's here all the time.

I made the mistake of feeding him, and now he's here all the time. He's a nice old chap, in very good condition, but he's not been neutered and is turning into a bit of a bully with my other cats, who are all afraid of him. If anyone knows who he belongs to could you let me know please, as I would like to return him.
Whether it's craft, haberdashery, or woodwork, or we'd love to see what you've been working on lately.

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.
Money — the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business — is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)

We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!
But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...
We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?
Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.
