What's blocking your drains?

Drain Ranger

As scary as these pictures look, they’re real footage of CCTV inspections in our area. The worst part is, you often don't know your drains are blocked until you're faced with drains overflowing or a blocked toilet.

Ever forgotten a spanner or two on the floor after doing DIY? No biggie, right? Trouble is, rain will wash everything in its path down your stormwater drain. A Hydro Jett is an affordable way to maintain your drains and can save you money in the long term.

Call the locals working for locals, email hello@drainranger.co.nz, call 021 709 783 or visit www.drainranger.co.nz and get the ball rolling and your drains flowing.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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 …?

Markus from Green Bay

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?
