Building 101: So you want to build a sleep out...

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

When I heard there would be changes to the consent rules around building sleep outs, I was excited. I've always wanted a tea house in my back yard... a garden room where I can do a bit of potting, maybe read a book, or just cool off in the shade.
Turns out it's not quite as simple as a … View more

Turns out it's not quite as simple as a trip to the hardware store to burn a hole in your credit card. If you're thinking of putting something up on your property, check in here first:

Auckland drought: Can you shower in 4 minutes?

Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

The Government wants Aucklanders to save 20L of water a day. But what does that mean at your house?

Buying efficient appliances and fixing one-off leaks can make huge water savings, but so can small changes to daily habits. If every Aucklander showered in four minutes, we'd save 80 million … View more
The Government wants Aucklanders to save 20L of water a day. But what does that mean at your house?

Buying efficient appliances and fixing one-off leaks can make huge water savings, but so can small changes to daily habits. If every Aucklander showered in four minutes, we'd save 80 million litres of water a day.

The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”

You may recognise it from school as Unihoc or Indoor Hockey.
Floorball is a team event. It is fast paced with lots of short sprint running and breaks in between. It is fun to play and very easy to learn. If you have played Field Hockey, Tennis, Football or any other ball sport, you will quickly pick up Floorball as well. What is even better is the fact that it is played indoors. Rain or shine…you can play Floorball.

Playing is Wednesday nights from 7:30pm till about 8:45pm and it is for the older teens, youth and adults.

Cost of playing is $2.00 for those aged 17 or younger. Those aged 18 and older pay $5.00 per session.

We have equipment in the form of balls and sticks to play with so all you need is t-shirt, shorts and indoor sports shoes.

If you want to know more about Floorball, please contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Playing Venue:
Manna Park Community Church
653 Great South Road
Runciman

As we are now moving into citrus season, I thought I would post a versatile recipe that I have made with Sunflower Seed Flour. This recipe is fantastic glutenfree.
Orange Cake:
185 gms Butter
1 cup Caster Sugar (or 3/4 cup Xylitol to make it sugarfree)
3 Eggs
1/2 cup Flour (use a gluten free flour to make it glutenfree)
1 cup Sunflower Seed Flour (or Almond Flour)
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 Whole Oranges (or citrus fruit of choice)

To prepare the oranges - chop into pieces, discard seeds, cover with water and cook in microwave for 10mins, or on stove top for about 15 mins. Strain off water and process oranges in a food processor until skins are chopped into very small pieces.

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix in flour and baking powder then the oranges.

Bake in a moderate oven until cooked.

Luxury lodges, usually full of overseas tourists and facing the off-peak winter season are slashing prices as much as 60 per cent, making a night at these lodges a little more accessible.
