Residents who packed out the lounge and waited patiently for a chance to meet the PM said they were ‘very impressed’ at Luxon’s determination to get around everyone who had turned out to see him – even as his team started to worry he would be late for his next engagement!

I'm always experimenting with new ways to repurpose the fresh produce that is generously gifted to us, and this week it was all about feijoas!
After washing and top and tailing them, I cut them in half — skins and all—and popped them into a pot with a splash of water and a little sugar. Once they were stewed soft, I mashed them gently with a potato masher.
Then came the fun part: I grabbed my Edmonds Cook Book and used the banana loaf recipe, swapping the banana for the same amount of feijoa pulp.
The result? Absolutely delicious. Moist, flavourful, and that uniquely gritty feijoa texture we all secretly love! 😋
Give it a go — you might just find a new favourite!

A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.
Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?

We are "The Hibiscus Spiritual Awakening and Healing Centre", a non-profit organisation run by friendly volunteers, and we charge only $5 each to cover costs, which incude hiring the hall. Meetings are held fortnightly, with a different medium each time. It's always nice to see that people new to us are very often chosen for a reading on their first visit.
In a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere people receive amazing, enlightening, and very comforting messages, as well as good advice. Often the medium will provide evidence by giving small details that the medium could not possibly have known.
Look us up on Facebook. Come along and check us out. And, whether you are young, or not so young,
ALL ARE WELCOME❗
