- Almost 50% of us are eating fast food a minimum of once a month!
- Did you know that 1 in 10 of us are getting less than 5 hours sleep each night?
- The most common kiwi stress relief is to exercise! Coming in at a close second was .. of course .. FOOD!
Want to see what else we found out? Like how frequently we are washing our hands...?!

I want to apologise with all my heart to the mayor and her three sisters for any harm or hurt caused them as seems they where not true. Turns out was disgrunted workman out to cause problems. I should have made sure all the facts where true before posting. I am very sorry for any pain this caused. It was my mistake for not checking all facts before posting. One thing I have learned is never post anything without checking all facts or in anger. Our mayor is not or has never been involved in anything to do with HNZ homes, nor have her sisters. I asccept all responsibility for the fact that post was wrong and untrue and all I can do is say sorry and always double check facts before posting.

Information in from NIWA shows this afternoon's tide was the highest ever recorded at Bridge St. At this stage, we believe the record-breaking level was due to a low pressure weather system coming on top of a spring tide, and heavy rainfall. Although the spring tide and rainfall were expected, the unusually low pressure wasn't forecast. This accounted for 0.4M of the tidal height. Preliminary assessment is that this extreme tide level may be equivalent to a 1/200 year event (a probability of occurring once in every 200 years).
We are keeping a close eye on the high tide due around 3am tomorrow. At this stage we don't expect this to be as high as this afternoon's high tide, but we will post an update at 9pm tonight.
We are due for more rain tomorrow. Contractors will be out over the weekend checking grates and drains so the stormwater network can work effectively.
Temporary pumps have been activated in Southshore to drain the area hit earlier this afternoon by the tidal surge.

Hi there Cantabrians,
We recently caught up with Christchurch residence Helen Coker, the 2015 GARDENA Gardener of the Year. She talks about her experience in the competition, and ticks off the many reasons to nominate the most awesome gardener you know.

I just moved to Christchurch a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to introduce myself! My name is Julia, and I am a plant-based chef and Hatha yoga instructor. If you are interested in having me prepare any vegan or vegetarian meals for you, either in your home or mine, please get in touch! I can also teach healthy cooking classes for adults or children, and I can cater special events and dinner parties, and even make cakes! I teach Hatha, children's, and prenatal yoga as well. If you've been wanting to improve your nutrition, incorporate more plants into your diet, or increase your overall health and well-being, I would love to help you achieve some of those goals!
I will be teaching ten-week term classes of Hatha yoga at the beginner (6 pm) and intermediate (7 pm) levels on Tuesdays, beginning the 25th of July, at the Bishopdale YMCA, so feel free to sign up for either of those. As I start adding in more public classes, I will enter them into the schedule tab of my website, so you can always check there to see what's being offered. You can also always schedule things with me privately and directly! My website with more info is www.juliagrueskin.com...
Thanks so much, and I look forward to meeting you soon! :)
Heard today from someone who works for HNZ that our great mayors sister just bought up a bunch of state houses to use as private rentals. These homes are already occupied.

These homes are already occupied. She got them for $250,000 each which is really cheap. This is back door dealing and was wondering why where not offered to those living in them first. Was told she had the choice of all at same price regardless how big and what state. She chose the best. Talk about corruption. Used the fact her sister is mayor of Chch to get in through back door
