Nominate your neighbour's letterbox!

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

We've seen some pretty imaginative postboxes on our NZ travels (these are just a taster) and it got us wondering what novelty letterboxes might be lining the streets in your neighbourhood.

We've seen some pretty imaginative postboxes on our NZ travels (these are just a taster) and it got us wondering what novelty letterboxes might be lining the streets in your neighbourhood.

So have you pimped up your postbox? If so, we'd love to see a picture and hear the story behind it for a feature on Homed... Did you create it from scratch or repurpose a household item? What was the inspiration for your design? And how have people reacted to it?

You can email your letterbox photos to homed@stuff.co.nz and someone will be in touch - and thanks in advance!

Valid until 09:00 pm Tuesday 27 November 2018

Thunderstorms are expected about northern and central areas of the North Island this afternoon and evening. About the central North Island areas of the Coromandel Peninsula, Waikato, Waitomo, Taumarunui, Bay of Plenty, Taupo, Taihape, Gisborne and Hawkes Bay, there is a moderate risk some of these thunderstorms could become SEVERE producing localised downpours of 25 to 40mm/hr and large hail 20 to 25mm in diameter.

Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface and/or flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys, and may also lead to slips.

Driving conditions will also be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain. Large hail can cause significant damage to crops, orchards, vines, glasshouses and vehicles, as well as make driving conditions hazardous. Should severe weather approach or if you feel threatened, take shelter immediately.

Hi neighbours,

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.

But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.

Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.

Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

Napier musician Kieran Taylor is devastated after having a decade's worth of irreplaceable music recordings stolen, just weeks ahead of his band's first official gig.

"I came back from my break about 3pm and noticed my computer was gone, had a look around and saw my flatmate's computer had gone and realised we had been robbed," he said.

While he was disappointed to have had his computer stolen, Taylor, who has cerebral palsy, said it was the loss of years' worth of music kept on hard-drives that he felt the most. Taylor said he would be willing to pay a reward "no questions asked" if the drives could be returned. Read more

When poppies get the blues

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

We love poppies, and this Tibetan blue (Meconopsis betonicifolia) is especially eye-catching. They are available from a number of nurseries, including Blue Mountain in Tapanui.

We had 40 stalls and a big crowd through. Santa was kept very busy and it was lots of fun. In case you missed that market, or maybe didn't get to finish all that Xmas shopping, we have one last market before Xmas at our usual time - 1st December (next Saturday) from 10 - 2. There are still loads of stalls booked, sausage sizzle, Heaven's Bakery caravan on site and even pizza and mini Xmas Mince pies from the kitchen. Santa plans to drop by from 10.30 - 12.30 so come along and buy local, buy quality, buy unique and have lots of fun doing it. There'll also be a Xmas hamper to be won - every purchase gets an entry for the draw.
