What you need to know:
- The wind watch is for between 8pm Monday 14 October and 9am Tuesday 15 October.
- At this time, the Harbour Bridge will be in 4 x 4 formation. This may remain for the Tuesday morning peak traffic.
- During this period be prepared for speed and lane restrictions.
- Motorists are urged to drive to the conditions and look out for the electronic message boards and traffic management which will indicate lane closures and reduced speeds, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge.
- If gusts exceed the wind thresholds there is a possibility of a temporary full closure on the bridge.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18. We also recommend other motorists use the western ring route where possible.

NZTA will continue to work closely with Metservice to monitor conditions and ensure decisions are made based on up-to-date and accurate information on predicted and current wind speeds. You can keep up to date with traffic at the NZTA website.

They have been delivering online orders from AliExpress recently and just flinging the package in the drive in full view of the road. This has happened twice now n the driver drove off before I could stop him.
Today he did the same thing but I managed to draw his attention and I asked him why he just flung it n why he did not ring the bell. He rudely walked away and said “I know how to do my job! “ Sat in his car and drove off.
Has anyone else experienced this with this courier.

Teenagers today grow up in a very different climate than the youth of previous generations and although it could be said that advancement in the field of technology has given a younger audience more accessibility to a wealth of information , however in terms of emotional stability , the ability to navigate with ease through life's challenges seems rather haphazard and unskillful
Although our sphere of influence regarding how others treat us is very limited and the reality that we have very little control over how external circumstances and situations unfold
We can gain some kind of self-awareness , not in an obsessive sense but in the sense of rising above our own inner drama.
