The ULTIMATE tramp sandals - Better than Balenciaga!

I guess you have seen the new shoes by Balenciaga on the Stuff website?

If not, then have a look at picture 1 and read the article at www.stuff.co.nz...

But Balenciaga is the new kid on the block - and it shows. If you want the ULTIMATE in destroyed shoes then I have something for you. For the real connoisseur only.

And yes, I'm still wearing them - so by the time the auction finishes they will be even more destroyed and valuable!

And starting at a farcical $1 only - with the proceeds going to humanitarian help for Ukraine.

P.S. I had ordered a replacement online from a big retailer in NZ - but they were such poor quality that I had to return them …

P.P.S. Oops - forgot the link: www.trademe.co.nz...

Kia ora neighbours, flooding that impacted thousands of homes was made worse because Auckland Council failed to keep culverts and creek beds clear, a report has found.

More than 150 millimetres of water covered West Auckland during the August flood and the nearby Upper Huia Dam went from 45% capacity to overflowing in the span of only four hours.

The independent report was commissioned by Te Atatū MP Phil Twyford, who hired two experts on flood control to work on the report.

The experts found on the night of August 30 when the heavy rain struck, flooding at the Waimoko Stream, which flows through Swanson and Rānui, was exacerbated by blockages down the stream and in the culverts.

She has been in isolation since Sunday, May 8, after her partner Clarke Gayford tested positive.
"The Prime Minister has been symptomatic since Friday evening, returning a weak positive last night and a clear positive this morning on a RAT test. At this stage her symptoms are moderate," the Prime Minister's Office said in a media release.
"As a result the Prime Minister will be required to isolate until the morning of Saturday 21 May. She will not be in Parliament this week for the release of the Government’s Emissions Reduction Plan this coming Monday or for the Budget on Thursday. Travel arrangements for her trade mission to the United States are unaffected at this stage.
"The Prime Minister will undertake what duties she can remotely this week, but Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson will take the post-cabinet press conference on Monday 16 May."
Ardern said: “This is a milestone week for the Government and I’m gutted I can’t be there for it."
“Our emissions reduction plan set’s the path to achieve our carbon zero goal and the budget addresses the long-term future and security of New Zealand’s health system.
“But as I said earlier in the week isolating with Covid-19 is a very Kiwi experience this year and my family is no different."
The Prime Minister said in an Instagram post with a positive RAT that "despite best efforts, unfortunately I’ve joined the rest of my family and have tested positive for Covid-19".
"We’ve been isolating since Sunday when Clarke first tested positive. Neve tested positive on Wednesday and I returned a weak positive last night and a strong one this morning. There are so many important things happening for the Government this week - the release of our Emissions Reduction Plan on Monday and the Budget on Thursday. I’m gutted to miss being there in person, but will be staying in close touch with the team and sharing some reckons from here," she said.
"To anyone else out there, isolating or dealing with Covid, I hope you take good care of yourselves!"

Kia ora neighbours, a West Auckland handyman has allegedly left at least five homeowners out of pocket to the tune of thousands of dollars and used photographs of other tradies’ work to drum up business.

A number of homeowners claim they were ripped off by Keith George of KG Property Maintenance, who also goes by Keith Elliott.

One business owner claims the handyman used photographs from one of his landscaping jobs and passed it off as his own work. George denies the allegations.

Vincent Chand and his wife Leila, both 68-year-olds from Glen Eden, said they found George on Builderscrack, a website used to find trusted builders and contacted him to do repairs to their garage.
