Hi Canterbury,

How's your community doing after the floods? Are you satisfied with the emergency response?

It's been over a week since 400% of the monthly average rainfall caused flooding in Canterbury, with multiple districts plunged into a state of emergency.

River engineers are working across the region, with sites being strengthened by machinery. Environment Canterbury Rivers manager, Leigh Griffiths, says that teams are continuing to monitor rainfall and river levels across the region.

"We're working closely with Civil Defence and the MetService to monitor the situation and will be posting rainfall and river flow updates on our website as the situation develops. We suggest that people avoid rivers and check the road conditions before travelling," he said.

The weather event triggered a state of emergency, hundreds of evacuations, and closed roads and bridges throughout the region. The red heavy rain warning was issued on Saturday night, the second since the warning's inception.

Hey neighbours,

Christchurch residents are upset at the state of the city’s roads and chlorine in the water as the council’s approval rating hits a 14-year low.

Just 49 per cent of people are satisfied with services provided by the city council, according to the organisation’s annual residents survey.

The figure is marginally worse than the 50 per cent reported last year, but is way down from the 62 per cent in 2019 and 79 per cent in 2007 when the question was first asked.

Are you satisfied with the council's services? Why/why not?

'Soft and slumping' Ashburton bridge closed on SH1 after extreme wet weather

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Flood-hit Ashburton Bridge on SH1 has now closed and there is currently no alternate route south with other road options also closed.

Flood-hit Ashburton Bridge on SH1 has now closed and there is currently no alternate route south with other road options also closed.

Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown said the water in the Ashburton River had got into the piles of the bridge, causing a subsidence in the piles.

“The bridge has dropped and you can visually see one section of the bridge is dropped about four to six inches."

Engineers would assess the bridge to see what was required to fix it.

The bridge closure had divided the town into town and cut off part of the South Island. Staff were working hard to open one route by Tuesday night to get south of Ashburton.

FINDING THE ANSWER

I have lived in New Zealand for the last twelve years, after being born and raised in Somerset, England. My parents ran a playgroup in our house for much of my childhood and I made close friends there, but I still felt isolated and different to everyone else.

I always loved food. We were able to help ourselves from the cupboards at home when I was young, with no restrictions. I believe a normal eater would just eat until they were full, but I could not stop. I put extra food in Mum's shopping basket and would gorge on leftovers at night with my friends. My friend’s dad owned a pub and when the half-eaten plates came back, I would pick chips off them, chatting as I did so, to my friends' astonished faces.

From as far back as I can remember, I felt irritated and impatient with people. I would interrupt and correct the teachers at school and have furious rows with my family, then later tell them I loved them. I lived in a fantasy world. My favourite times at school would be writing stories and acting. My emotions were a rollercoaster, up and down. Food made me feel better, soothing all the anxiety. I never realised how dependent I was on food, until it got much worse.

我被邀請去藝術館 The Art Gallery入口處的大廳,6月13號星期天下午1:00~2:00去教一堂太極拳。是6月份的大眾活動之一。
參加者應該全部都是新生。

藝術館說他們上次辦瑜伽班有80多人參加,就不知道太極拳班會有多少人參加?

不知道您是否練太極拳呢?或認識打太極拳的朋友,到時候可幫忙一起去,站在第1排帶著練,後面的人才比較好跟。會的人多,氣場才會更好。

我已經把楊氏太極拳的八式又再簡化更動了一些,變成比較適合初學者可以大致體驗一下太極拳,有前進及後退。當然初學者是不可能在一堂課學會太極拳的,就是希望他們體驗一下太極的剛柔並濟。

如果您打太極拳,願意幫忙的話,或有認識這樣的朋友,請告知您的朋友,請加我的微信,我的微信號是sandyjsky

如果有人願意幫忙,可否請於這個星期天,6月6號的早上10:00~11:00來我們Aidanfield家,我稍微解釋一下,調整過的簡單楊氏太極拳是什麼樣?大家練一下。

謝謝您的幫忙。

A Flockton Basin resident wanders down a deserted and flooded Harrison St. The Flockton Basin area had flooded yet again when more than 60mm of rain fell in Christchurch during one night in April 2014.

It contrasts to this week's heavy rain event, which caused significant flooding in some parts of Canterbury, but not in Flockton Basin.

Many put this down to the fact the Christchurch City Council has spent tens of millions of dollars in the past five years protecting those areas from flood waters.

Read more about the council's efforts here.
