A local mystery — the staggered opening of @aklc A local mystery — the staggered opening of @aklcouncil libraries. Many reopen next week, but not Remuera or Parnell. They won’t opening their doors until after Queen’s Birthday weekend. No information in council’s release on this to explain it. (Speaking of books, I’m looking forward to revisiting this classic, which I picked up today from @greendolphinbookskroad )

“Hurry up, take the photo”. “Ohmygod, I can’t believe she’s making us wait” ... early comments from a bubble about to devour @burgerburgernz at home. Moments later: “Amazing. Mimi is the best”. “Everything tastes better when it’s from Burger Burger”. Fair to say the Burger Burger At Home box delivered today was a raging success. Everything was thought of, including sauces, pickles, the special butter for the broccoli. Thank you BB boss lady @mimigilmourbuckley — this has been voted best lockdown dinner yet. 🥰 👏👏👌🍔🍔🍔🥦🥦🥦

Happy Easter all — whether you’re spending it Happy Easter all — whether you’re spending it in the lounge, on the deck or locked in a silent scream in the kitchen, chin up and soldier on. (Note that cute Easter biscuits are not made by anyone connected to The Hobson. Way above our skill set).

Ok. If you’ve seen our Facebook, you’ll know i Ok. If you’ve seen our Facebook, you’ll know it’s all doom & gloom for now about the distribution of The Hobson’s April issue — it is available online only via issuu.com. But from here on in, we’re only posting good news. And updates from our Bear Hunt co-worker, Mr Jeremy Fisher. Today’s good news story is about @moustachenz Faced with a mountain of ingredients and imminent closure, Deanna Yang baked her heart out for frontline medical services, and then managed to deliver the treats on the eve of the lockdown. My sister Charlotte is a nurse at Starship and she and her colleagues got to enjoy a beautiful morning tea thanks to Deanna’s kindness. Charlotte says gestures like this are so appreciated, and it made everybody’s day better. ♥️♥️♥️
