Pretty in pastel

The Team from Resene ColorShop Lichfield Street

Painted glass bottles make a stylish display on their own or with the addition of dried foliage. The paint is on the inside so they still have that lovely glass sheen. Use Resene testpots to co-ordinate with your home's colour palette.

Help for Ukraine

Jean from Linwood

Several places have been set up in England where people can donate clothes to be sent to the people of Ukraine, and I wondered if anyone knew if we have such places in Christchurch. I have some lovely clothes that I would like to donate to them, and possibly some blankets and pillows.

From reporter Tina Law:

KiwiRail is putting communities at risk by causing delays to work on cycleways across Christchurch, a city councillor warns.

The state-owned enterprise tasked with managing the country’s rail network is being blamed by the Christchurch City Council for delays on at least four cycleway projects – all of which were supposed to be fast-tracked thanks to Government shovel-ready funding.

The proposed cycleway routes either cross or run parallel to KiwiRail’s tracks, therefore design changes are needed to make it safer for cyclists.

However, the design work requires approval from KiwiRail, and in many cases these have not been forthcoming or KiwiRail and the council disagree about the level of work that is required. Read the full story here.

Moss green velour, generally in very good condition, with a few marks and snags where the cats have used it for sharpening their claws. It has a metal frame, and is quite heavy to move but it's ready for collection just a few steps from a vehicle. Dimensions are approx 190x90cm, and the wire springs are 137x184cm. We usually put a mattress topper on it as the mattress it comes with is relatively thin.

Pick up is the bottom of Huntsbury with easy access.

Price: $300
