Tiny house builders have had a surge in interest during the lockdown, some from families that are 'herding'
During COVID-19 lockdowns overseas, we've seen someone run a half marathon on a tiny balcony and the distance of Everest up and down a staircase. What will we see next in New Zealand!?

The first known dentures were made from human or animal teeth by the ancient Etruscans in Ancient Italy and date back to 700BC. Technology has certainly come a long way since then.
This should be very encouraging for us all, knowing that as time moves on, so does the way we think and operate. … View moreThe first known dentures were made from human or animal teeth by the ancient Etruscans in Ancient Italy and date back to 700BC. Technology has certainly come a long way since then.
This should be very encouraging for us all, knowing that as time moves on, so does the way we think and operate. Never more than the very surreal time we find ourselves in currently.
Denture wearers are often wary about how they will appear to other people and how well their dentures fit. Many are concerned about the fake appearance of their dentures, or the embarrassment they might cause if they dislodge during eating or laughing.
Fortunately, the materials and technology used to create dentures are constantly changing and improving and as a result dentures are looking more like natural teeth than ever before.
Therefore, it is important to find a denture clinic with a team that has the experience and skills required to deliver an amazing, natural smile – a clinic such as Denture Creations.
It can cater for all your denture requirements, with a friendly, highly qualified team that will make sure you receive the best care and advice from your initial consultation all the way through to your follow up care.
Denture Creations East Auckland clinic is modern and comfortable, and the team believe they have something special to offer all their clients. They are professional, experienced, authentic and above all - THEY REALLY CARE!
We are currently still closed but may be allowed to open for some restricted work at Level 3. Watch this space for an update later this week

Nestled along the steaming banks of the wide canal, six of us crouched in the camouflaged hut known as a 'Mai mai'. Some had already been drinking Port, I could still smell dope and perhaps unbelievably, I was the only one there not dressed up as some kind of paramilitary reject. All of us had shotguns; double barrels, semiautomatic and pump action.
This was to be my first taste of opening season. Decoy mallards bobbed in the canal in front of our position and sporadically, we could hear the honk of phony duck calls carrying to us from neighbouring properties and further down the body of water.
Then they came. A frantic exodus of feathered bodies, desperately seeking sanctuary. We could hear their panic. Harried mercilessly from lake to creek, they banked towards the lures we had placed. Only to be greeted by the barrage of fire we opened upon them. A veritable hail of lead shot poured into them from our little bunker as we fired again and again. Some were struck dead in flight while others were shredded, disintegrated or just blown limb from limb.
The Labrador pups at our feet whined and cowered under the concussion of the rapid shotgun fire. Then it was over, the survivors flying desperately onwards in futile retreat.
The guys whooped and cheered while I think I managed a sickly grin. High five.
Sliding back the corrugated iron hatch to our hut, the Lab's scrambled free and plunged into the water, pushing through the carnage to seek any ducks unlucky enough to have survived our gunfire.
So ended day one of Duck Season, my first and last experience with it.
I was working as a farmer at the time and the life and death of animals was often in my hands. Some of those creatures I loved, some I hated. They had personalities. I had taken those lives before and more than once I experienced a living creature's life blood pour onto my hands, which is something I still find hard to justify. I'm not a vegan or a peacenik and I strive not to be a hypocrite. I've slaughtered, euthanized and hunted. In short, I'm not an innocent.
To me, Duck "hunting" is no such thing. It is a bloodthirsty massacre of terrified creatures. It is inane butchery on a wide scale ...and it's as Kiwi as Lion Red.

Kia ora neighbours, an evacuation flight for Fijians stuck in New Zealand left Auckland on Friday, but prices associated with quarantine meant at least one would-be passenger could not get home.
Do you have any family members unable to return home?
