Keyboard

Tracey from Taradale

Just wondering if someone could possibly repair and then make use of this keyboard? It just needs a replacement plug / power cord. It was given to us to use a number of years ago, as my son has special needs. However, that charity is no longer operational, so I can’t return it to them.

It was given to us to use a number of years ago, as my son has special needs. However, that charity is no longer operational, so I can’t return it to them. It would be good to see it being put to good use again.
Pick up would be from Taradale.

Free Topsoil — Taradale

Ross from Taradale

Topsoil scrapings left over from building our garage. Hard to guess total volume but must be a few cubic metres at least. The measuring tape in the photo is at 1 m.

Must collect. Our driveway will fit a ute or small truck with trailer but a larger truck would have trouble. If bringing a digger, … View more
Topsoil scrapings left over from building our garage. Hard to guess total volume but must be a few cubic metres at least. The measuring tape in the photo is at 1 m.

Must collect. Our driveway will fit a ute or small truck with trailer but a larger truck would have trouble. If bringing a digger, we can contribute to removal costs. We ask that the site is scraped flat once the soil has been taken.

The Sunday Star-Times wants to hear from children about how they've been impacted by Covid-19 and lockdown. Perhaps they've learned more about hand washing and germs, or maybe they want to talk about having mum or dad home more often, or learning from home. Kids can write a sentence or two to be included in print by emailing kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, by Friday, July 10, at 5pm. Their first names and ages may be used in print. Parents, if you're happy for your children to be photographed please let us know.
