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.

Keen to see a fluffy royal albatross live? Head to the Royal Cam - a 24-hour live stream of an albatross nest.
Why the live feed? Well, the royal albatross are slow-breeding birds, and lay only one egg every two years.
Currently the chick in the feed is in its post-guard period, and is left alone. The parents are only returning with food every few days. This little chick will be hitting a milestone really soon - it will finally take their first flight in September! Keep an eye on our little celebrity here.
We hope this link brings a smile!
Any one else had poor outcomes with Spark when there is a problem?

Ive been assisting me elderly neighbour, she has a landline outage and Ive found that there is no such thing as a speedy resolution.
Reality is that despite spending 2 hrs 10 mins to the Phillipines call centre speaking to someone that was difficult to understand, and also doing reboot and other tests on the Spark supplied modem and phones ( both new approx 6 months ago) the outcome is that the landline is still not working..
My complaint is not with the call centre.. its the process they are forced to go through to try and identlfy the fault,.. despite my telling them that the fault appears to be with the modem..
The simple solution would be to send another modem...
Spark are so far removed from being a customer service focused company the the WILL NOT SEND A TECHNICIAN to my neighbours place.
Im lead to believe that the dont give a stuff
Just shows that rebranding a Company never fixes the underlying issues
Im so please that I dont have a landline and use 2 Degrees for mobile
