I heard an election peace from Wayne Brown yesterday, as part of that speech he was going to fix everything(maybe not all that easy to do) he also said public transport in Auckland was broken, I had just traveled from Blockhouse Bay to Remuera, bus, train bus, then down to Wynyard wharf for lunch,… View moreI heard an election peace from Wayne Brown yesterday, as part of that speech he was going to fix everything(maybe not all that easy to do) he also said public transport in Auckland was broken, I had just traveled from Blockhouse Bay to Remuera, bus, train bus, then down to Wynyard wharf for lunch, Nothing wrong with the system if you do your homework, I wondered when the last time Mr Brown used public transport, we would all like it to run from our front door(that is what Uber is for, and you pay for it) the system is not perfect and I the people at AT are working to try and get it that way. There maybe a web site were it tells me exactly what Mr Brown is going to do. Yes I have reached the age were I can thank Winston Peters each time I travel(free), I would just like to make the comment that open comments to gain votes are not good. We already have a Govt the has done this and fallen flat(West coast mine, light rail to Auckland Airport) I am not against Mr Brown, he may have some good ideas, just would like to point out, Auckland public Transport does work if you do your home work.

Stress tends to build up during the day. When it's time to go to bed, your mind is probably racing, and you're probably thinking about tomorrow's to-do list while trying to keep track of everything.

You may shift your focus away from your current situation by immersing yourself in a good book. According to one study, reading for six minutes can reduce stress by up to 68 percent.

Please leave a comment with your book recommendations or all-time favourite picks to help our community get a good night's sleep.
