We have been looking in the garden and everywhere around the house but so far have not found it.
Maybe someone has found it and could give me a ring on 021 434477.
A good reward will be waiting for the returning of the bracelet.
Thank you

This week it is Zoe.
“The adoption has progressed really well with our little Zoe. Before we went to pick her up, I had a whole list of elegant princess type of names to rename her, but now that she has fully settled in, we have come to realise she is quite the opposite of that and more of a mischief cheeky troublemaker.
After a couple of weeks of slowly introducing each other, Zoe and her feline brother have gotten along a lot better than we anticipated. What she lacks in hearing she definitely makes up in with her voice and all the random noises she constantly makes. We bought her a large expensive cat tower and of course she much prefers to sleep and play around in a paper bag, so that has been fun being woken up at 3am with her rustling around in the bag.
Her new favourite area of the house is the bathroom where she loves to sit on the bath for hours and watch the water slowly drip out of the tap or go and rip up every single piece of toilet paper. She is constantly making us laugh and is so full of character and is loved by all our family and friends. Thanks so much for everything.”

When I went for a walk around my neighbourhood to see whether I could find the house that these dogs are living, these dogs are nowhere to be seen! If you can't be responsible for your dogs at your home & always letting your dogs visit other people's properties, you shouldn't have dogs just because you are letting your dogs roam on my property!

They used their equipment and told us that they have cleared any blockages but there is some concrete build-up at one point in the drain which may cause the issue again. No super-urgent action was recommended with further action necessary may be in medium-term i.e. not within days. However, the same problem happened 3 more times within less than 2 weeks. They came two more times, each time to do same work but the drain was not fully cleared. We were very disappointed with their work as their focus was not on resolving the issue fully. It was more limited to just pointing out the likely cause of the problem i.e. concrete/glue lip buildup within the drain. For coming 3 times in 10 days and still not fixing the root cause of the issue, they charged us: $672.75, $531.84 and $404.80 totalling $1,609.39 (incl GST).
Just three days later the toilet was again blocked and water was not flushing down the drain. This time we decided to call Marty Leslie (027-668-7581) of Leslie Drain Clearing Ltd. Marty did his intial investigations and was quick to locate the junction box in the front lawn which W&G Drainage did not locate even after 3 visits and $1600 of work. Marty could then insert the camera and drain clearing pipes from the junction box for closer examination of the part of the drain where stuck concrete/stones were rather than the camera etc coming all the way from the gully traps. He then removed some stuck up wet wipes/paper, identified a spot where most of the concrete pieces were stuck and removed all of the concrete/stones. He spent about two hours in all and made sure that the drains were now clear all the way up to the council drain. There have been no further issues since then. Leslie Drainage charged us $402.50 which is far more reasonable having fixed the root cause of the issue that was causing blocked toilet.

Randy and Gene live in the Lower Hutt suburb of Avalon.
"Brothers Randy and Gene chat to Grey Cat through the cat flap (social distancing). Randy and Gene run a muck through the Avalon neighbourhood with their pal who often sneaks in and eats their food.
Randy likes to watch keep watch of all the goings on in the neighbourhood, he lives in Ferretti Grove, Avalon with his brother Gene and human mum and dad (Kaye and Alex). Randy is a very friendly and curious little boy and enjoys making new friends - I know this due to the text messages I get about his whereabouts - usually napping at the neighbour's place."

I don't know what to say but I saw 2 boxer dogs on my property today! One dog is light brown & another dog is dark brown!
Why are these dogs being free to walk around on street?

Tūī were out in full force, as they fed on the blossoms!
Kereru, as usual, were everywhere including in a wheelbarrow!
The sparrows were caught having a good old dust bath.
Mr Duck was out by himself and full of chatter as I walked by him.
Although it was still very cold, it was nice to feel the rays of the sun on me!

This lovely tūī pic taken by Andrew Gorrie in his garden (taken before lockdown) is too good to ignore. Have you been seeing more birds in your garden?
