On Saturday, there was an event that deserves recognition.
A group of people, some of whom had not met before, got together at a Tikipunga home to do a favour for 75-year-old Jodi Armiger.
Like many people, Ms Armiger struggles to keep up with home maintenance and had paid a man to complete some property jobs for her. But he didn't finish the jobs, despite being paid in advance.
Nicole Mitchell was one of a few hundred people who read Ms Armiger's Facebook post warning other people to not be taken in by the man, and decided to do something about it.
Nicole rallied a team of people and, on Saturday, they turned up at Ms Armiger's Tikipunga home and helped complete the work. They also won her heart, not just for finishing the work, but for soldiering on in the rain.
