More than 1000 people turned out for the Kaikohe Agricultural, Pastoral and Horticultural Show at the showgrounds near Ngāwhā on Saturday. Visitor numbers were well up on last year, boosted by fine weather, the cancellation of November s Waimate North show and free sideshow rides for the kids. The traditional country attractions were supplemented by a busy equestrian ring, a gumboot throwing contest and free tours of Top Energy s geothermal power plant.

What is your typical day like now?
There is no such thing as typical in this pandemic. There is no typical day. Everything is so up in the air. There have been days where I didn t even get out of bed, and then there are those where I am zooming all day. So there is nothing typical about this time of life for me.
What book/TV show/podcast/film should everyone take the time to consume during this period?
Da 5 Bloods (Netflix) and
Mrs. America (Hulu) (shameless plugs!). But also
The Queen s Gambit (Netflix) and
The Boys (Amazon Prime).
