What would go in our 2023 NZ time capsule?
For a bit of fun, imagine we are making a time capsule to tell the future about life in New Zealand in 2023. What would you add to our time capsule?
Some ideas include:
A pair of Crocs
An air fryer
A poem written by ChatGPT
A PakNSave receipt
A teaspoon commemorating the Coronation of King Charles III
A copy of Prince Harry’s book “Spare”
A banner that says “Up the Wahs”
What would you put in there to sum up life in NZ this year?
MISSING CAT
Hey neighbours,
Koco my black cat is missing, from Ilam Road. It's been 11 days now, since 12/11/24. She's definitely not under the house or hiding anywhere and we've done everything we can to bring her home at this stage, but will always appreciate advice or other ideas. Before she went missing she was coming home and eating and cuddling etc every day, morning, night, and throughout. If anyone sees her anywhere we'd really appreciate a message :) Thank you so much!
-She's microchipped, three years old, wearing (could have lost) a red studded collar with my number and her name attached to a red heart name tag.
We really miss her 😢💔
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
