Forest walk

Cynthia from Foxton

I picked up 3 bags worth of fresh and old dog poo in the Cousins Avenue forest this morning and bought home to my rubbish bin. I picked up my own dog's poo as well, of course. I had my dogs with me and they were not happy with me stopping all the time, however, it is getting disgusting in there. May I prevail on a few more dog owners to do this and maybe we can restore our beautiful walking tracks and edges to their former glory. Did the same at Ferry Reserve on Monday. I thought this was better than confronting anyone too ignorant to pick up their dog poo, as I feel it is building up to some sort of a stand off, and us responsible dog owners will be penalised and lose our lovely dog walking assets.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

80 years ago:

Paul from Levin

About 80 years ago I was taking photographs with a Kodak Box Camera including the 2 uploaded photos of the house where we were living in Epson, Auckland. The ground floor walls were built with stones and the washhouse had no windows so it was perfect for developing film and printing photos. And 80 years later I still enjoy taking photos, even without the Box Camera😁. The house was destroyed to be replaced by apartments. It feels like a part of me has been stolen and destroyed.😦😦
