This Week + Next Week In Auckland

Kia ora!

This issue is a real unique one. If you read the subtitle, you already know it’s going to be a banger end to the week and a great start to the next. If you were looking for a sign to go out, this is it. Don’t let a little bit of cold stop you.

Also, if you enjoy The Bagel and want to support what I do, consider supporting here

Anyways, enough waffling from me.
