Hi all
Discovered the tree in the back yard is a fig tree. If anyone wants any please message me. Or 0277896747 for address.
Please bring own bags.
Painted glass bottles make a stylish display on their own or with the addition of dried foliage. The paint is on the inside so they still have that lovely glass sheen. Use Resene testpots to co-ordinate with your home's colour palette.
Find out how to create your own.

Thanks also to the community groups who are increasing access to play by giving their time and space, and sponsors who make these projects sustainable

This comes after James de Hair, a 15-year-old from Kāpiti College, saved to buy a second-hand phone off Facebook Marketplace in June 2021. Three months later, it stopped receiving a cellular signal, leaving the phone unusable. The seller refused to give James a full refund, so the schoolboy filed a complaint with the disputes tribunal.

I’ve had this for many years, just upgraded to a stick vacuum so this needs a new home.
It’s got varying suction levels, the max level is quite strong! I usually use 3rd from top. Has space for a HEPA filter (there’s not one in there at the moment), and uses bags which you can buy from … View moreI’ve had this for many years, just upgraded to a stick vacuum so this needs a new home.

Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, commemoration services for Anzac Day will look a little different this year. There will be a scaled-back dawn service to remember the conflicts of our past and present, and to honour those who served.
Public are welcome to attend, but please remember to follow COVID-19 guidance, and do not attend if you are feeling unwell.
There is also a pop-up poppy field on Andrews Avenue from 18-26 April, where the public are welcome to lay poppies and pay their respects.
There will be no civic service in 2022.
Anzac Day commemorates all New Zealanders killed in war and honours our returned service personnel.

"Our beautiful endemic and endangered black-billed gull/tarāpuka (Chroicocephalus bulleri). Sometimes I've found them a little confusing to identify as in non-breeding plumage, black-billed gulls can have a two-coloured brownish and black bill and red legs, but they always have a longer, finer bill than a red-billed gull - that said there is also a little variation in the bill sizes. The two species sometimes hang out together as well to make it more confusing. Bird #57 in 2022."
This week a picture from Rosa Marie.
"Here are a few 'birdie' shots while I was on the 10 minute boat ride at Zealandia on Friday! I had never been on the boat, so it was such a joy to see the shags from another angle."
