A short explanation of Matariki taken from the internet.
Matariki, also known as the Māori New Year, is a time of celebration, remembrance, and looking forward, marked by the rising of the Matariki star cluster (Pleiades) in the winter sky. It's a time for communities to gather, share stories, reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and plan for the future.
I had the day off work as it's a public holiday so that was nice to be able to rest.
