Today, September 22 is carfree day! You wouldn’t have noticed it on Auckland City roads this morning! Okay, so you can't get out of your car yet, but what else could you do to drive a little less, and in an eco-friendly way?

This loaf is one of my favourite transportable lunches. It tastes good warm or cold and makes a no-mess meal. That it's also good for you is a bonus.

While it is great to see Auckland City  cracking down on tagging one has to wonder about the wisdom of painting over artwork that has graced the city’s walls and stopped taggers for many years.
