Good morning, neighbours - I have a Tupperware-type box full of embroidery cotton that I collected back when I used to do cross-stitch.
I haven't done any for something like 2 decades though, so it's really time for it to go to someone who'll use it.

I haven't done any for something like 2 decades though, so it's really time for it to go to someone who'll use it.
I'd kind of like to get *some* money for it (there's a fair amount of cotton in there), but I care more about it going to someone who'll get some enjoyment and pleasure from using it.
So if you'd definitely like it but can't afford to pay anything, feel free to put your hand up. Or, if you'd like to make an offer, that's fine too.
Message me either way :-)

Court action over a planned upgrade to Auckland’s Queen Street may be averted after peace talks between a group of businesses and the council.
Parties are tight-lipped with the Save Queen Street group set to seek an injunction on May 5, but in a joint statement described Friday’s 90-minute meeting as “productive”.
“Save Queen Street, Auckland Council and Auckland Transport had a productive meeting this afternoon and are working together to reach a resolution,” they said in a statement.
The group of retailers and landlords argued that the council was breaking the law in using the restriction of traffic lanes brought in during Covid-19 in 2020, as the basis for a new upgrade due in May.
The “emergency works”, carried out last year, widened pedestrian space by reducing traffic from four lanes to two on the CBD’s main retail strip.
The council plans next month to partially close a section of lower Queen Street to general traffic, and make it more pedestrian-friendly with pocket parks, widened footpaths and seating, in a $1.1 million trial.
Save Queen Street wants all the Covid-19 changes stripped away, before new discussions can begin on making the struggling street more attractive.
The society partly blamed the changes for the declining health of the street, which now has dozens of empty shops, following the loss of tourists, foreign students, and a trend to office employees working more from home.
Today's talks were chaired by the Auckland Council chief executive Jim Stabback, with senior officials from both council and Auckland Transport, but without the mayor Phil Goff.
Goff had previously told Stuff he supported the changes in the council plan.

Has anyone seen my handsome boy? He has been missing since 6/5/21 around 8pm. I search and call for him but nothing. He does sometimes go walk about, but loves his food so normally back by morning.

He is very friendly and will go up to just about anyone.
He is recovering from a surgery from about a month ago so his hair is still growing back on his left side.
Please see photos attached. He is microchip so do hope if someone found him they would return him to a vet.
My number is 0220 475 512 if you have seen him. We live in Ellerslie around Great South Road
Thanks

Should Queen Street be car-free?
Major roading upgrades are set to get underway on Queen Street which the council says will improve pedestrian spaces.
The work is set to begin on Monday between Shortland and Customs streets, limiting traffic to a single lane each way and with bus priority in the evening peak.
Some have expressed their concerns for the project including a group of businesses and landlords calling itself Save Queen. The group applied for an interim injunction to halt the council's planned Queen St upgrade and a High Court Judge will decide whether to approve the injunction later today.
Should the upgrade go even further and ban passenger vehicles altogether? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment used in your local community paper.
