Does anyone recognise this Tabby cat?

Debbie from Fitzroy

Hi All, this cat has been hanging around my house since about early December. I can’t get close enough yet to pat it but think he is male. I’ve started feeding him and both myself and my cat are happy to adopt him. But I want to check he isn’t lost or actually has a home somewhere. Once I … View moreHi All, this cat has been hanging around my house since about early December. I can’t get close enough yet to pat it but think he is male. I’ve started feeding him and both myself and my cat are happy to adopt him. But I want to check he isn’t lost or actually has a home somewhere. Once I have built up enough trust for him to let me pat him and pick him up I'll take him to the vet to check for a microchip. If you recognise him/her, please let me know. Thankyou! Debbie. 021-525-433.

Giving high-priced ice creams a licking

Reporter Sunday Star Times

We want to know what a day at the beach with the classics costs us.
So roll up, roll up ... there's nothing like licking a scoop of ice cream during the summer. How much do you pay at home, and when you are away? What is the most expensive ice cream you've bought on holiday?

Dishonesty threatens NZ's honesty stalls

Paul Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighbours,

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.

Hi Neighbours,

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.

Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.

One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.

But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?

Is it a vespula wasp (German or common) or a paper wasp? Find out the difference here.

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.

- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.

- ​Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...

Issues with motorbikes in Minogue park

Janet Neighbourly Lead from Frankton

This is an off lead dog park with signs at all entrances stating no motorcycles, motor vehicles or golf
Almost every night lately there has been some type of small motor bike tearing through the park with a helmetless rider
Last night a large ute got in to the park even though there are bollards??

They unloaded  a small motorbike  and various children or adult/children combos rode around - adults with no helmet. This is dangerous, as lots of the dogs chase them, being a foreign noisy moving thing in a dog park. It is an accident waiting to happen, as the bikes increase speed and try and get away from the dogs.
If you see this, please ring the council 07-8386699 or the police if there are no helmets 07-8586200
WHERE CAN THEY RIDE THESE BIKES LEGALLY AND SAFELY??
