Big shoutout to Dexter Ricario from DM's Digital TV LTD. He came out on a Sat night to put my new tv on the wall and to hook it up to the internet and make sure everything was just right for a night in front of the tv.

I am so impressed. He was happy, friendly and did the job professionally and with a smile!! How many tv guys do that and not a builders crack in sight. If you want someone to do internet connections, tv mounts, tv installations, freeview tv, UHF or satellite then Dexter is your man. Call him on 021 239 6681 or message him on here!!
Who vs. Whom? If you can replace the word with “he”’ or “’she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom.

It had been years since his project, Shouse, published any new music. The last single they released, Love Tonight, had a “lukewarm” reception, the Kiwi muso says.
For some reason, the single has unexpectedly shot out of obscurity. It caught Service by surprise.
In May, BBC dance music host Pete Tong added Love Tonight to his “essential new tunes for 2021” list, despite being released in 2017.
Since then it has taken off and he is expecting a big cheque soon

"I came into SPCA with a damaged eye, and the wonderful vet team couldn't save it, so I had an operation to have it removed. It hasn't slowed me down at all, you just have to be aware that I can’t see you approaching me so please don't startle me.
I would love to be a single … View more"I came into SPCA with a damaged eye, and the wonderful vet team couldn't save it, so I had an operation to have it removed. It hasn't slowed me down at all, you just have to be aware that I can’t see you approaching me so please don't startle me.
I would love to be a single indoor bunny where I get all the human attention. I am a clean boy and will go into my large litter tray for toileting. I love gentle pats on my head and sometimes come up to you for treats. I regularly binkie around super fast, and when I'm tired I do bunny flops as I am a happy boy.
I love space and the outdoors so I will need a large grassy area with a weatherproof hutch for outside during the day. My indoor area must be big enough for me to spend the day and night comfortably. My caregivers ask that rabbits always come inside at night, to be part of the family and to keep me safe. I could go to a home with friendly cats as I've met some before."
Are your energy bills so high they've got you feeling down? Maybe you're wondering where that draught is coming from or where all that expensive heat is going?
Or maybe your home feels (dare we say it) MOIST?

Or maybe your home feels (dare we say it) MOIST?
The truth is that there are lots of things that contribute to how healthy a home feels and how well it functions.
That's why Wellington City Council in partnership with us (Sustainability Trust) offer free personalised home energy plans specific to your home. The end goal is to arm you with the information you need to create a warm, dry, healthier home. You can even find out if your home is EV or solar ready.
This is a completely free service for homeowners in Wellington City.

No one dreams bigger than an Olympian, and nothing connects us as a nation quite like sport!
As a proud partner of the New Zealand Olympic Team, we’re getting behind our Olympians so they can turn their dreams into a reality.
This week we feature a stunning close-up but what type of bird is it?

Lower Hutt's new waste and recycling scheme hasn't gone to plan with about 18,000 households being delivered the wrong collection schedule. Some residents’ recycling has gone uncollected. Nearly half of Lower Hutt’s 40,000 households were told to put their bins out on the wrong day, marring the start of the city’s new rubbish and recycling programme.

"When I was young I didn’t like the boatsheds. To my eye they looked derelict and unkempt – a hotchpotch of too bright clashing colours, and all of them peeling to reveal bleached wood underneath. They reminded me of my Nana’s crocheted rugs with frayed threads and darned patches. I liked things shining, new, and squared away. Anything else smacked of some sort of failure, either of duty or poverty.
Now that I’m older, and not untouched by time myself, I realise that decay is inevitable, and, more importantly, there is texture and beauty in it. The sea, like life, can be a rough place. The winds carry salt and sand, storm surges leave marks and baggage piled around the high tide mark, sometimes spilling over onto the little docks. But in this flotsam, rotting seaweed, silt, and tangled tree branches are a million little bugs, fish, and crabs – a roiling primordial soup seasoned with iodine and salt and feasted on by the birds. Nothing is lost - just transformed. Sacred kingfisher/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) catching the light at the Hutt Estuary boatsheds, Hikoikoi Reserve, Lower Hutt."
