Be Kind and Be thoughtful.

Pamela Neighbourly Lead from Templeton

As governments are trying to figure out how to ease back into a new normal, please remember:

🛑 Some people don’t agree with the suggested reopening.... that’s okay. Be kind.

As governments are trying to figure out how to ease back into a new normal, please remember:

🛑 Some people don’t agree with the suggested reopening.... that’s okay. Be kind.

🏡 Some people are still planning to stay at home.... that’s okay. Be kind.

🦠 Some are still scared of getting the virus and a second wave happening....that’s okay. Be kind.

💰 Some are sighing with relief to go back to work knowing they may possibly save their business or their homes....that’s okay. Be kind.

👩🏾‍⚕️Some are thankful they can finally have a surgery they have put off....that’s okay. Be kind.

📝 Some will be able to attend interviews after weeks without a job....that’s okay. Be kind.

😷 Some will wear masks for weeks....that’s okay. Be kind.

💅🏻 Some people will rush out to get the hair or nails done.... that’s okay. Be kind.

❤️ The point is, everyone has different viewpoints/feelings and that’s okay. Be kind.

We each have a different story. If you need to stay home, stay home. But be kind.

If you need to go out, just respect others when in public, keep your distance and be kind!

Don’t judge fellow humans because you’re not in their story. We all are in different financial and mental states than we were months ago. So remember, be kind.

Copy, paste, and share as a reminder to BE KIND! ♥️

I have been overcharged and risk being charged a penalty for non payment and cannot get a hold of anyone to talk to. We were sent a wi -fi extender that they have charged us for and do not need. We ordered Broadband the day before lock down and it was finally connected 30/03/20. We have had issues ever since and can not talk to anyone to help or return product. And now they want money for substandard services!

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.

The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.

“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.

The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”

Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.

Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.

Throngs of hungry people queuing outside restaurants have sparked concerns Kiwis' hunger for takeaway could be our undoing as the country settles into Covid-19 alert level three.

Director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said he'd been among those who enjoyed a takeaway coffee at the first opportunity – but he urged people not to forget physical distancing rules.

"It is important not to congregate outside the cafes or other places, or in the carparks of takeaway places like McDonald's when you see old friends."

"We do not want to see the sorts of rebound that we have seen in other countries," he warned. Continue reading here
