I just want to state from the beginning, the kid refused to take money from me! That says a lot to me about his standards.

That says a lot to me about his standards. I went to the Dinsdale pharmacy and Darrin [wearing a black jacket with yellow "Everlast" writing] approached me and asked if I knew where he can get some work to support himself. The story is that his mother is in the hospital terminally ill and he just needs a place to stay and to be able to eat while he's in town. Apparently the overnight shelter asks $15 for a night - I don't know what options there are, maybe someone can help in that area? I could go back and give him a lift somewhere if someone can provide the correct advice. He looks genuinely desperate and after getting him a pie I told him to take $20 for the overnight shelter if nothing else comes up - he refused to take it. I gave him a card with my name on it and told him "Take the money, you can contact me and pay me back when you get a job". At that point he couldn't hold back his tears. I believe this is a genuine situation and would really appreciate any help. He said he has done painting before - either way if someone could just give him a chance to earn a little money to get some food in his belly and shelter for the night it would be much appreciated.

I did have a person mow them three times and unfortunately I have lost track of them and I am uncertain who the business was as they never left any forwarding address or number.

I will remember them if I see them again Im sure however in the meanwhile I need my lawns trimmed again. Still searching for last mower man. Please help!

I went back to my car and found a warning on my windscreen to say this is a private car park for Clyde street customers. Only and if I use it again I will be towed away or clamped. Then also on my windscreen is a ticket at 9.59 am for $65. I did intend to buy some bread from bakers delight but after the ticket I was not going to support the shops. Beware when using this car park. It is not P60 at all.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!
A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.
Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

During this time of giving, give a gift for good to help those who need it most. You can easily help them with warmth, water, meals, shelter, community outreach and welfare centre support.
We’re so grateful to all the generous sorts who’ve chipped in to get us here. So, let’s lose the gifts… and turn our big day into a celebration with the nation.
For every $10 donated from you, Spark Foundation will give $10 too – up to a grand total of $10,000 across all 10 charities.

The wife is seriously ill and can't leave her bed... so to help cheer her up and to celebrate their anniversary, I'm inviting all of you - yes all of you - to come and sing Christmas carols on their front lawn tonight.
We will meet at 7.15pm on Mount View Rd near Heather Place. We will then walk together to their house and sing for about 15 minutes accompanied by the Salvation Army band.
Please share this invite with anyone you think might be interested and particularly those who live in the area.
If anyone can't find us on the night, my number is 027 2853625.
Thanks!
