How about adding a trip to Magpie Market to your resolutions? Its on again - this Saturday 5th January in the Meeanee Hall from 10am - 2pm. We'll be small (lots of people still away) - but we'll be sweet and there will still be lots of things to look at, maybe treat yourself a little after looking after everyone else for Christmas. Great coffee and snacks on site. See you there tomorrow.
Hi Neighbours,
As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?
Bar fridge in good condition wanted.

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...
Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar.

When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar. But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?
We want to know what a day at the beach with the classics costs us.
So roll up, roll up ... there's nothing like licking a scoop of ice cream during the summer. How much do you pay at home, and when you are away? What is the most expensive ice cream you've bought on holiday?

Louie needs a new home as I'm relocating to an area which is unsuitable for him. He is about a year old, vaccinated, neutered & microchipped. He is used to a dog but not young children. Best suited to a quiet or semi rural area.
I have a security door with damage right next to the unlocking mechanism. I can remove the door but who repairs them? I would like a "half moon" piece of metal put beside the door handle and the mesh replaced. Who are the handy men. Phone or txt 021877076
Hi, I have a heater, TV cabinet and Oak ward robe that needs a new home. The heater works fine, the TV cabinet also works!!. The oak dresser has shelves in it, it also has mirror glass on the front as it was used as a photo booth. Leave a message if you wants these. Thanks
Hi Everyone,
I just read this from my friend Anita Larson who is a Funeral Celebrant overseas. I liked it so much I wanted to share it. She wrote an article about how keeping traditions or making new ones after the death of a loved one is helpful.
Hope you like this story:

"My brother travelled the world and left us too soon. He collected Snow Globes from every destination and would often bring one back for Mom & Dad. We are continuing the tradition by purchasing a Snow Globe wherever our travels take us this year. His collection of over 100 Snow Globes is on display at our parent’s home along with a map with pushpins marking every place he visited. We will each take turns shaking the Snow Globes while listening to his favourite Country Christmas songs."
Do you have any traditions you keep or have started?
Would love to hear about what you do.
As we head into 2019, may we find Peace, Love, Grace and Kindness.
Kia Kaha
