To the driver of the white Toyota who does an illegal lane change every weekday morning turning right on to the motorway at Tristram Ave, you have nearly caused a major accident each time. Queue with everyone else.

A heartfelt thank you to the passersby in Grey Lynn that came to the aid of my 12-year-old son. He'd slipped and fallen face-first on to the pavement, breaking his tooth, looking bloody and in shock. It's comforting to know the community can act with care toward a distressed child.

Upgraded on Emirates as a treat only to be told on check in that there is no lounge access. Was supposedly in the fine print but no email was sent by the airline. Not a huge deal, but it leaves a bad taste.

Last Wednesday a fellow teacher and I were dining at Et Tu, Te Atatu peninsula before taking students to a dance performance. I couldn't finish my calamari, so I offered them to a gentleman sitting nearby, as they were too good to throw away. When we went to pay, that gentleman had paid for our entire meal. Thank you kind stranger!
