He's just been to Wellington, where he was a winner in the Golden Foot Walking Awards 2018.
Well done Gruffalo for taking out the top prize for a community-led project, which was part of the Breeze Walking Festival. This would not have been possible without the collaboration of St Margaret’s College, Canterbury Playcentre Association, Canterbury Plunket and the Council parks, libraries and recreation teams.
After a successful trial last year, under-fives will swim for free at Council pools.

I have a 12 foot pool I'm wanted to sell. We are moving and have no room for it at the new place. It is sitting in the garage collecting dust. It has not been cleaned and one of the legs is bent, but it shouldn't effect the use of the pool to much. As is where is. Cost me $500. $200 ono.
We have a special on this week for 3 and 4 bdrm single storey homes for just $85!
We also offer weekly payment plans and will take care of your windows through out the year.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

The CDHB will now use the Christchurch City Council-owned Lichfield St car park building. It has 805 parks and is regularly well below capacity.

After watching starlings initially dominate the waxeyes over the fatbags we'd put up, I noticed that once the fatbag had shrunk enough, the starlings could no longer land.

So after putting up 2 new fatbags today I made a circular "lid" for one out of a bit of lino. The waxeyes can still come in from the side and even hang upside down from the "lid" but the starlings can't hover or fly in from the side. I've left the second fatbag for the starlings.
I guess an old plastic lampshade would do or an old paint tin lid - even cardboard would last for the life of the fatbag. Cheers - John
PS No starlings were harmed - just annoyed!

How do you feel about the city owing $2.1B
