Here is a recommendation for where I buy my bulbs for my garden.
Sadly we are still on copper in Kauri, and the internet has been down since about lunchtime. I eventually managed to link my tablet to the phone and found a map from Chorus thaat seems to indicate that there are large areas from Kamo up to Towai that are out. By now it's almost 21:00.

I eventually managed to link my tablet to the phone and found a map from Chorus thaat seems to indicate that there are large areas from Kamo up to Towai that are out. By now it's almost 21:00.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on here?

THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Norway (English subtitles), 2021, Comedy, Rated M
Julie is estranged from her parents and battles her own indecisiveness on a daily basis. Working part time in a bookshop, her dream is to allow herself to manifest happiness in her relationships and forge a challenging and satisfying career path.
But to put several years of false starts behind her, Julie knows she will need to take an honest and realistic look at who she really is.

There are road works of some description in Mains Ave.
What do they do?

What do they do?
They put rows of cones into Kamo Road (!) and a couple of lollipop guys with crash helmets holding up the traffic down Kamo Road. There is NO justification, and NO visible purpose to this, other than annoying through traffic.
I almost feel like asking for Wayne Brown to come up from Auckland and banish those in charge to lower Turkmenistan. The intellectual vacuity behind these 'safety measures' is unbelievable. I repeat: there was no work going on on Kamo Road, no workers were near Kamo road, except the two guys with stop-go lollipops.
Seriously, folks.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them."
Happy Anzac Day!
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

I’m looking for a plastic cat litter tray.
Perhaps someone might have a spare one sitting in the garage?
Can someone more knowledgeable than I, kindly advise as to why this has even been considered? If say, a teen really wishes to learn to drive properly and safely and subsequently pass the Test, then why shouldn't they pay for it themselves?

If say, a teen really wishes to learn to drive properly and safely and subsequently pass the Test, then why shouldn't they pay for it themselves? I had to get an extra job as a teen, to pay for my driving lessons and test and why not? it was, after all for my benefit. Of course, it goes without saying, the 'lost revenue' will be passed onto us tax payers. Yet more spoon feeding?

You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Introducing our Whangarei/Kaipara Local Distribution Committee, elected from local community organisations to make decisions on COGS grants. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou, thank you all for your work.
The 2023 COGS priorities for Whangarei/Kaipara are:
▪️ Older people and those with disabilities are connected, involved in the community and have access to the services they need.
▪️ The wellbeing and aspirations of Māori are supported and valued.
▪️ Families, children, and young people can access services increasing their physical and mental wellbeing and ability to build better futures.
▪️ All communities are enabled to celebrate their diversity, which encourages community wellbeing, resilience, and inclusiveness.
▪️ Community needs are met by organisations with a clear local footprint who are building community resilience.
▪️ Volunteers and community organisation staff are valued, resourced and well trained.
COGS (Community Organisation Grants Scheme) is open for applications, and closes on the 3rd of May 2023🙌
