Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

Are you aware that the asbestos in your roofing, ceiling, cladding, floors, or fences – when disturbed – may be hazardous to your health?
You will be surprised at how many people die each year from mesothelioma, the aggressive type of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Most people who get this disease have been exposed to airborne asbestos particles either in the home or in the workplace and eventually developed lung cancer or other respiratory issues later in life.
Chemcare is committed to eliminating asbestos in New Zealand homes and buildings.
Once you have confirmed the presence of disturbed asbestos or asbestos-containing materials in your property, you can use our asbestos calculator to get an estimate of how much it would cost to have it removed, then call us to get a no-obligation quote to complete the job.
Be safe, be sure.

We’ve decided to run a special offer for people with bunions - “Bunion Evaluation” for only $33 (worth $85). Offer valid 12/02/21 - 12/03/21
Many doctors and podiatrists believe that surgery is the only way to fix a bunion. This is not true. Bunion surgery is painful and doesn’t address the underlying cause of a bunion, which is generally the way we walk and stand. Ideally, surgery should be considered as the last treatment option for bunions.
At Corrective Foot Solutions, we use a gentle, hands-on technique to effectively treat and correct bunions – which means there’s no need for surgery or orthotics. We use Foot Mobilisation Therapy to correct the underlying cause of your bunion by working on the misalignments in the foot, as well as strengthening the weakened muscles around the joints.
Pop in and see us at 272 level 3b Parnell Rd, Parnell, Auckland or give us a call on 092129250.

What do you think about the newly announced festival on Motutapu?
Island Time on Motutapu is a festival to be held over the last weekend in February and is set to feature a smorgasbord of food and drink vendors and music artists.
Festival-goers will be treated to a day long festival on either February 27 or 28 on the island. Tickets range from between $65 to $85, with a portion of ticket sales going towards to wildlife conservation.
Billy Brown, the deputy chairman of Ngāi Tai Ki Tamaki, said that it is an excellent opportunity to showcase the culture of the island and for them to educate visitors about volunteer opportunities on Motutapu.
“In the end, we want a calendar of events on the island, covering sports, arts, food – all of it," he said.

I hope you are very well! I wanted to share a 5-week movement and yoga course I am running starting 24th February with you all. The title is 'Move with Ease' and will be focused around exploring different ways of moving and getting to know your body. I teach a contemporary approach to yoga which is quite a different style to most yoga classes and someone once said to me that I teach yoga for people who 'don't like yoga' - mainly that there is no goal to get into a certain position, you do not need to be 'flexible' (I promise!) and there is no right or wrong way to move in these classes, it's about how YOU feel in YOUR body.

On Thursday, February 4 the wharf was opened with a blessing from Ngāti Whātua, with ferry sailing commencing shortly after. Prior to this, the wharf had been closed since June 2018 for a $2.6m upgrade.
However, a crew member was injured during an on-board incident this week, highlighting the need for additional engineering work to improve safety on vessels during berthing.
As a result of the incident, ferry services have been temporarily suspended. It is not yet known when they can re-commence, again.
