Unwanted wool
We are a group of ladies who knit blankets, jerseys, hats and scarves for people in Moldova and Romania. The people over there are very poor as there is little work or government assistance. From time we run out of wool and are very grateful to receive left over wool in small or large amounts that anyone may have that they are willing to give us. We are very creative and use small amounts for stripes or edges etc so any amount is welcome. I can assure you it is put to very good use and the people over there overflow with gratitude that we, at the "other end of the world"' care enough to help them. We are very grateful too to the people who have given us wool in the past but we are always running out and needing more so if you have any wool that you are willing to donate, I will arrange to pick it up. My landline number is (07)843-7755 or cellphone 021-057-0371. Thank you once again to those who have given to us in the past. Pat Gregory

The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
