Kia ora!

Between the weather, my roof nearly flying off, and my phone getting alerts like we were about to get nuked it’s been a wild week. But skies are finally clearing, and this weekend is stacked: car meets, book sales, comedy, and more.

And next Wednesday there’s a full-blown knight fight with real metal swords happening! Honestly, if someone doesn’t yell “FOR HONOUR!” during the battle I’m leaving.

Also, if you’re wondering why this hit your inbox on a Thursday instead of Friday, I got a bunch of emails saying Friday was too last-minute to plan anything. Which I understand, so from now on The Auckland Bagel will arrive in your inbox every Thursday at 9AM.

Enjoy this week’s issue 🥯
