Our lives change. It would be nice if our apartments could too. stuff.co.nz/life-style/homed…

Apartments need to be more responsive to residents' desires

OPINION: Flexibility and responsiveness are key to solving the "apartment paradox". But are we up to the challenge?

A quick shout out to the mayor's new comms team. This must be heart breaking work.
Mayor Wayne Brown
@MayorWayneBrown31 Jan 2023
Deputy Mayor and Orakei Ward Councillor, Desley Simpson, said she is ‘devastated’ by her slip-up on TVNZ Breakfast this morning and feels that was malicious reporting. “I was trying to communicate the fact that Mayor Brown is aware of the problems and part of the solution” – DS

I asked my daughter about perseverance this morning. She taught me about the Learning Dip, drew this picture, and I think it’s awesome. 1/3

When you’re in the bottom of the dip it can feel really hard. Sometimes you need someone to come into the dip to help you up the other side, but if you persevere you get to the top of the next mountain, somewhere new! 3/3
