How's retirement treating you? Maybe you're in the midst of planning your retirement but haven't quite settled on your forever home yet.

If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you! The Homed team is giving you the opportunity to show us the home you've retired to and tell us why you love it. If you haven't quite left your career behind and you're planning your retirement we want to hear about it on Stuff Nation.

Remember - this doesn't have to be a one off. You can ask your neighbours for business recommendations for DIY products, advice on home improvement or even to invite your neighbours over for a house warming when your forever home is completed.

To share your thoughts and photos with Stuff head to the Stuff Nation page, we prefer submissions between 350-800 words; otherwise email homed@stuff.co.nz.

大家好,請太極拳的朋友們幫忙。
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。

Throwback Thursday: Flockton flooding

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.

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.

Wouldn’t it be great if the pub came to you?

Kiwi startup My Little Pub is taking backyard beers to a new level with their mini Irish, English and Scottish-themed pubs.

The business idea, hatched during the Covid-19 pandemic, came after Christchurch interior designer and My Little Pub founder Steve Rosling was asked by a friend to build a pub with Guinness on tap in his backyard, so he never had to leave home for his favourite draught again.

What do we think folks?

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Happy Friday neighbours,

If you can’t handle the heat, get a new kitchen.

The Christchurch City Mission’s social enterprise, Thrive Catering, is relieved to have moved to a new state-of-the-art commercial kitchen as it continues to provide cooking classes and other essential lessons to Christchurch’s most vulnerable.

Thrive offers work experience courses for City Mission clients who are trying to get back on their feet. They are given valuable cooking lessons and other life skills to better their prospects for the future, when the mission no longer provides direct support for them.

The charity's Hereford St base kitchen had become too small, meaning course capacity was limited and many were missing out on learning vital skills.
