-- Train Drivers have been told by KiwiRail to slow , as the tracks have buckled in the current heat .
-- Auckland Train Drivers have had several strikes lately , throwing passengers in 'chaos' -- buses have been called in to get people to work and home .
-- Hamilton and Waikato Council , and the Labour led coalition , are proposing a commuter train to Papakura . This will cost at least $78 million , and at least $1 million a year in subsidies . It can carry up to 150 people , but appears likely to take 30-40 daily .
-- That is $2 million per person in 'capital' costs . A new Nissan Leaf electric car is $62,500 , a new hybrid is $37,500 , a new Tesla is around $120,000 . You could literally GIVE each commuter one of these vehicles , and be 18 to 50 times better off !
-- The $1 million a year subsidy works out at $500 per person per week subsidy . On top of the $30 trip charge ( they pay $300 a week , taxpayers and ratepayers pay another $500 a week , on top of the $78 million setting this up !
-- A new 45-50 seat bus is $400,000 to $650,000 , depending on level of luxury .
-- BusIt runs a daily bus service to Pukekohe ( it appears with no sudsidy ? ) and charges $10 each way -- less for pensioners etc . This is not suitable for commuters , but shows what can be done .
-- Air New Zealand is offering $39 fares Tauranga to Auckland , again it appears they receive no Govt subsidy , they buy mult-million dollar planes and have to make money .
-- It appears LTNZ will reduce or cancel any funding for the Hamilton to Papakura commuter train .
-- BusIt can run a daily bus service a similar distance for just over $10 .
-- Air NZ can run planes Tauranga to Auckland $39 .
-- Hamilton Council can run a daily train to Papakura , but need to spend $78 million , plus top it up by another $1 million , for 30-40 people a day ?
Will this loco loco still proceed if no-one votes for the the current Mayor ? Lets hope it is canned -- it is absolute financial stupidity IMO .

Does anyone have any oval frames that have a floral design and are golden?
I am after something around 32.5cm by 48.5cm, anything near that would be great.

I am after something around 32.5cm by 48.5cm, anything near that would be great.
I would like it in excellent condition as it will be part of a present for a loved one close to me that I have been prepping other things to go with it for them. Let me know the price and let me know the cost for track and trace. If you live in it near Hamilton let me know if I can pick it up.
Any recommendations to framing places or shops like perhaps Salvation Army branches you know of that fits the above description would be greatly appreciated too. I've also attached how many inches a couple measures are, one is a bit off from what I mentioned earlier but it gives an idea.
Hi, Once again I have large white bags of dry split gum for sale. 3 bags at this stage but more will be coming. $120 a bag. You will need a trailer or ute to pick it up. Sorry no deliveries.

I have spare lilac plants. They were dug up on Saturday, but have been sitting in water.
