During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.
But many have been hit hard.
Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

The Dunedin City Council is investigating slowing traffic along the city's major retail thoroughfare to just 10kmh. The change would affect George St and to the south of the Octagon — an area already subject to a 30kmh limit.

The proposal has been driven by the Government's plan to move the country into Alert Level 2 on Thursday, with council staff considering ways to encourage people to return to Dunedin's CBD, albeit at a safe physical distance.

Another gorgeous Autumn day for us 🍂🍁 in Dunedin 😊. The first time I heard this saying I instantly loved it! In my humble opinion it's a huge source of self-confidence when you live life from principles dear to your heart 💗. Sometimes we don't and we tell ourselves it doesn't matter because "no-one will know". We've just discounted ourselves completely though because there is one person who will know and that is ourselves. Nathanial Brandon's book 📗 "The Six Pillars of Self Esteem" set me on a path of personal responsibility that lead to an enormous increase in my self confidence. And those around me began responding in kind. Personal development is a very empowering tool that has given me the courage to live life on my terms. Which reminds me of another saying I heard recently "if the only tool you have is a hammer - every problem is a nail" perhaps less effective ?

The gregarious squat lobster, otherwise known as munida gregaria, is commonly found in shallow waters along the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island. They drift over shallow tides and settle on beaches when they sense the bottom. Once the tide moves out, the krill are exposed and often look like red sand or water on the beach shoreline.
The swarms have been abundant recently in Otago, where large gatherings have been seen in Broad Bay and Edwards Bay in Portobello, near Dunedin. Read more here.
