I cannot understand some businesses thinking, when on entering their premises, to record your presence, they only offer a cell phone scan option. Why do they not offer a hard copy option as others do? Case in point - the diner in Oxford. You are not served until you record your particulars via your cell phone. If it wasn't for my friend yesterday who put my contact details in on his phone, I would not have got a meal. Today I visited Warehouse Stationary in Northwood. Same thing - app download only. The elderly man in front of me, just sanitized his hands and walked in - as I did. Do not these businesses realize that not everyone has a cell phone and even those who do have one, may find downloading the app too difficult. What happens when a group of elderly people go to a restaurant and they have to register via their cell phones - if they have one - and they can't? This is short-shortsightedness, and because I am not cell phone savvy, I, like hundreds of others, won't spend money at those premises. Businesses take note: if you want our money, please provide a hard-copy option.

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Building job
I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.
