This Week + Next Week in Auckland

A guy with tape on his mouth, Aliens on Mother's Day, markets and designer steals. Let’s get into it.

Kia ora!

Finally, Auckland’s got some good weather. Back-to-back days of just sun, let’s hope it sticks around long enough to actually enjoy the events lined up this week and next. Then again, it’s Auckland… so who knows. Sun, storm, then back to sun in 20 minutes? I wouldn’t even be surprised. Anyways enough waffling from me.
