Along with landline phones and bar soap, top sheets are allegedly an "endangered species".
It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

The opening processions for this year’s Matariki celebration, Nga Wai Piāta (Streams of Light), and learn about the journey urban fish take.
“After hatching, we swim downstream and emerge in the harbour where we live for part of our life cycle. After about 3 to 5 months we begin our journey back to where we came from, which in some cases means overcoming stormwater pipes, concrete shoots and culverts. This task involves us using our strong pelvic fins to grip tight to things such as tree roots to make our way back upstream.” Banded Kōkupu.

This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.
You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...
Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.
For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz

The company has failed to deliver and install my retrofit double glazing as agreed and within the agreed timeframe. I was told three days before the job should have been finished that they simply couldn't provide the product or the service.
The company has been in breach of contract since 7th June 2019 and has held my deposit worth thousands of dollars since 8th April 2019.
Viridian agreed to refund my deposit by the 13th of June...they've failed to keep this promise.
I raised an official complaint with National Office and again asked that my deposit be refunded as agreed...not even an acknowledgement from National Office.
Shame on you Viridian Glass NZ.

Just because we put streams into pipes, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve mana.
It’s important that we’re conscious of what we pour into our stormwater pipes and gutters in our city as it negatively impacts the fish moving through them.
Come and meet the fish at Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019
