FREE 3 seater SOFA x 2 Ideal for bach
I have two sofas both 3 seaters that we have had outside under our veranda so got the occasional rain splash on them. They are indoor sofas really but we kept a blanket over them to collect the outdoor dust when windy. The brown one is a velvety material and in great condition APART from one arm that the cats scratched down to the wood unbeknown to us as it was under the blanket we had over it. If you have a throw over the sofa it wont show and it is still very serviceable. The other 3 seater is a blue/white floral pattern. No damage but some areas of grubby marks that should wash off with some hot soapy water but again throw a blanket over it and its good to go. Ideal for the bach. Available next week sometime.... tba.... collect. 8 kms NW of Hawarden spcooke@amuri.net Dont seem to be able to upload images properly but can e mail photos to anyone interested
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.6% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below
