Masks - what works well and what doesn't
Study: some cotton cloth masks are about as effective as standard surgical masks, but alternatives such as neck warmers made of thin, stretchy material may be a bad idea.

I am making 100% cotton reusable masks with two layers of fabric for just $10 each. Shaped masks in men's, women's, children's sizes (not recommended for children under 3 years old) or pleated surgical style masks in one size. If you would like to order some or find out more, please message me for further information.
For those of you who can sew and want to make your own masks, please see my earlier post on mask patterns - there are a lot of free patterns available that you can download, and lots of tutorials if you need help.
Stay safe and well - wear a mask, keep 2m distance, avoid touching your face, and wash your hands frequently!
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
