While social media is plastered with photos of people's first takeaway lockdown coffees or indulgent McDonald's feeds, Aucklanders are feeling a bit left out of the hype train and people around the country are for once feeling somewhat sympathetic to those doing it rough in the big smoke.

Anyway Sam Neill could probably whip up a healthy meal for half of Auckland with this monster courgette from his garden.

There is some good news for Aucklanders though, even those who haven't paid their library fees, as Auckland library has announced they are removing fines and wiping all debts from existing users.

While city slickers are stoked at the chance to get their first mocha, these Hawke's Bay residents got a real treat from nature via contactless delivery.

While many of us are getting bored of being rugged up at home in lockdown, one look at this poor Tui getting absolutely battered in the wind will have you crawling back under the covers.

Meanwhile in Canada, even the weatherman can't get five minutes without disruption with this pooch convinced he needed some help with the forecast.
