Let the games begin

The Team from Resene ColorShop Lunn Ave

Recreate a classic game in an unconventional format using Resene testpots to paint your own dominoes. Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.

Recreate a classic game in an unconventional format using Resene testpots to paint your own dominoes. Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.

Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Find out how to create your own rock domino set.

Supermarkets

Tonia from Mount Wellington

During lockdown instead of creating a potential pass the infection line why don’t all supermarkets go delivery or click&collect only.

All supermarket staff in store and distribution centres could be utilised to pack orders 24/7, courier companies can be used to do the deliveries increasing the supermarket delivery fleet.

That way there are less people having to head outside their bubble and less chance of community transmission. Also, less aggro from waiting in line and finding that what you want to buy has run out....and no panic buying!

Hi everyone, I've heard official word that we may need to prepare for potential power disruptions this Easter Weekend.

Vector has been keeping a close eye on the weather and there's enough concern for them to continue with preparations, including additional measures to keep crews and customers covid safe.

What this means is that it's possible it could take longer to get power back on if there are outages due to the forecast bad weather.

Vector's asking all Aucklanders to:

✔️ Prepare as you normally would when a storm approaches – tie down trampolines, bring in sun umbrellas, make your area as safe as possible to minimise the chance of emergency call outs - have torches and check batteries, and if on tank water, make sure drinking water is stored.

✔️ Take particular note of items that may fly around the neighbourhood during gale force winds – we don’t want people to break their bubbles to retrieve property.

✔️ Not approach Vector teams for their own safety. Please remember physical distancing of 2m.

✔️ Use Vector's Outage Centre (below link) to monitor restoration progress if power is out:
