Art for our soul's sake...

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

How much of your wall space is taken up by art? I barely have any wall space left, myself. Seems like I'm in good company though. We've been covering our walls in art for... oh, only about 44,000 years. More recently, art has become an expression of our personalities, and taste.

Take a look at 6 times art made the room more than just a space to live in...

DIY with a touch of Marmite

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I loved chatting with Timaru craftsman Duncan Cottle about his beautiful work on this ceiling rose. He sculpted, molded and cast the whole thing by hand, with just trial and error to guide him.

He sculpted, molded and cast the whole thing by hand, with just trial and error to guide him. How cool is that? I found it so inspiring. Chatting to him made me want to give it a go myself. I reckon I might start with something a little simpler first, however. Those Acanthus leaves look so good... but also quite difficult! Maybe an art deco rose, to match my 30s house? Anyway, I'd love to hear from anyone else whose created something lovely for their homes from scratch. Drop me a line and let me know what DIY magic you've been up to!

South Coast weather

Werner from Newtown

I know, most people like sunshine and blue skies. For me as a photographer, however, the strong winds and waves of the last few days are much more interesting.

What’s an Oncology Host? They provide people with help and support to give them the most positive experience possible during their assessments, treatment and follow-up appointments.

In this role being compassionate and organised is key, but you will also have that extra ‘sixth sense’ and will know how to offer the right help at the right time; whether that’s a reassuring welcome, a well-timed cup of tea and chat, or helping clients connect with the right medical professional.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch! 💛

Poll: Should Kiwis be entitled to more sick leave?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

With Covid-19 still a very real risk, people who are unwell are told to stay home, and to keep any sickly kids home too - but what if you don't have any more sick leave owing?

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

New Zealand’s minimum sick leave allowance is one of the lowest in the OECD. In Australia they get 10 days, in most European countries it’s even more.
