This Week + Next Week in Auckland

Kia ora!

Hope you’ve had a great week so far. If you have, awesome. If not, hopefully the events coming up will turn that around. The cold is suddenly creeping back at night, but luckily the days are still nice, so there’s no excuse to stay inside, especially with spring just around the corner.

Enjoy this week’s issue 🥯
