Hi All
Sadly our much loved pet bunny passed away at the weekend. We are not going to get another one so I have about 3/4 of a bail of pea straw and half a tub of rabbit pellets - free to anyone who would like to come and collect - we are in Andersons bay.

Sadly our much loved pet bunny passed away at the weekend. We are not going to get another one so I have about 3/4 of a bail of pea straw and half a tub of rabbit pellets - free to anyone who would like to come and collect - we are in Andersons bay.
The rabbit hutch has seen better days but a handy person could renovate it if they have the time and a mind to. So again if you want to come and pick it up you can take it for free.
Please message or call me on 022 059 0089
Cheers

No desire to go buy wine, chips, KFC or some other take-away treat for the evening. Netflix was an evening thing. I caught a movie in the weekend.

Chief executive Sandy Graham said the affected staff included a lifeguard who worked a shift at Moana Pool while asymptomatic on Saturday.
As a result, the council had decided to temporarily close the Port Chalmers swimming pool from Tuesday, so staff could be diverted to keep Moana Pool open.
There would be further disruption to pool operations over the coming days and weeks, given the number of pool staff who may be deemed close contacts, and also required to isolate, Graham said.
βWeβre continuing to follow advice from health authorities, and weβve taken all possible steps to prepare for this eventuality," she said.
βSome disruption is inevitable, but we will be doing our best to minimise its impact, and we ask everyone for patience and understanding as we work through this.β

The βdo not drinkβ notice for Waikouaiti, Karitane and Hawksbury Village was lifted in July after residents were caught up in a lead scare six months prior.
Residents were unable to use their tap water after elevated levels of lead were found in the water supply, operated by the council.
It was later revealed that there was no widespread lead contamination in the councilβs drinking water network, but the elevated levels were likely caused by leaching from privately-owned pipes and fittings.
A report by independent reviewer Ross Tanner, which was released on Wednesday night, will be discussed at the Dunedin City Council next week.
The review identified problems with the councilβs initial escalation and notification procedures, including a staff member going on leave before the elevated lead level reading was emailed to their inbox. It meant the council did not know about the reading for some time.
The report noted senior council management, including the chief executive, were blindsided as a major health response unfolded.
Their handling of the situation was compounded by an RNZ interview in which a senior manager incorrectly stated the elevated lead readings were four times the acceptable level, but this was later corrected to 40 times.
βConcern was expressed by the mayor, chief executive, and councillors to whom I spoke that as a consequence of this interview and the mistaken reference, the council had effectively βlost control of the (communications) narrativeβ and never regained it,β Tanner wrote.
Dunedin mayor Aaron Hawkins said the council had acknowledged, and worked to rectify, areas of concern identified in the review.
Three of the five recommendations had already been implemented, and work on the other two was continuing.
βWe accept the presence of elevated lead levels should have been escalated sooner, which would have allowed us to have this very serious conversation with our community sooner, as they deserved.
βThis delay caused avoidable angst for our communities and I apologise on behalf of council that this happened.β
The welfare response from council staff, community board representatives and public health authorities was praised in the review.
That included providing temporary safe water tanks and free vegetables to residents in affected communities.
