FREE 2.5 seater sofas (x2)
Free, but must be picked up: 2x 2.5 seater sofas.
Two identical sofas available (photos only of one of the pair).
Approx ten years old, textured brown fabric is in good condition but could do with a clean. Wooden frames solid, but webbing under seats on both sofas is worn - some is sagging, some has torn on edges of the wood. Should be repairable. Foam cushions in okay condition. From a pet-free and smoke-free home. (Not child-free - hence the need for a little spot cleaning!)
Buyer must pick up ASAP from Avondale - Himikera Ave. Sofas currently outside (just under a mat) as no longer room for them inside, so the sooner they’re safely away, the better!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
The gift of giving …?
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
