How to stop bananas ripening - for more than a week

Bruce from Takaro

- I did an hour of research to discover this, and it works.
- Peel them and keep them in a container in the fridge (not the freezer).
- Try to minimize pressure of bananas on the container or each other (see picture, it bruises them)
- Apparently ripening is caused by the skin and stem.

- Today I enjoyed another banana bought a week ago, still as it was then.
- This means we can buy 'ready' bananas, or even 'starting to speckle', and not have to visit the supermarket so often (saves fuel and carbon, you don't impulse-spend on other things while there, also wasting money, overeating).
- It also means no-more unhealthy 'have to eat that banana because it's going off' when you don't want to.

Hi Neighbours!

Happy Waitangi Weekend.

There’s a lovely young boy in our street from a family who’s got a lot on their plate at the moment, who could really do with a mountain bike to get him out & about, and maybe involved with a club.

Hi Neighbours!

Happy Waitangi Weekend.

There’s a lovely young boy in our street from a family who’s got a lot on their plate at the moment, who could really do with a mountain bike to get him out & about, and maybe involved with a club.

Does anyone have a surplus one that they’d be happy to either preferably donate, or sell for a modest price?

Thank you!

New Sky Box

Peter from West End

Thought I would pass on what I found out today. No doubt every one who has Sky TV has seen the ad for the new Sky Box. If you have applied for one like I did last year do not hold your breath. It seems that the only people who qualify getting one are Vodaphone customers only. When I asked why this … View moreThought I would pass on what I found out today. No doubt every one who has Sky TV has seen the ad for the new Sky Box. If you have applied for one like I did last year do not hold your breath. It seems that the only people who qualify getting one are Vodaphone customers only. When I asked why this was not mentioned in the ad the person I was speaking could not or would not give me answer. Even when I rang last year to book one I was not that they were for Vodaphone customers only. as a customer for the past 25 odd years In am not a happy chappy. But ther does not seem much one can do but grin and bear it

I have 6 beautiful pure bred mini lop kitts for sale, ready for their forever homes.

Both parents are vaccinated against Kalisi virus.
These are fluffy joyful bundles of cuteness.
Bunnies are beautiful and therapeutic for both young and old. they are sociable, love attention, and are easy to keep and care for.
Your bunny will come with a small bag of carry over pellets.
They have been sexed, but although 98% accurate, we all make mistakes.
Once these babies are gone from here, I have no control or responsibility as to their future, hence the reason I really need to stress that these rabbits will NEED to be cared for to the absolute! upmost.
They require a safe environment, dedicated attention, a dry, warm sleeping area with lots of hay. I absolutely recommend they be kept indoors, and be vaccinated against the virus (there are vets around this area that will do it, and for a reasonable cost) between 10-12 weeks.

#1&2 all together
#3 pure white, blue eyes. BOY #SOLD#
#4&5 mottled brown with grey highlights. BOY
#6&7 pure white, blue eyes. BOY
#8,&9 mottled brown white stripe on head. GIRL
#10 &11 pure white, blue eyes. BOY
#12&13 mottled brown small white stripe on head. GIRL
#14 & 15 mottled brown white stripe on head. GIRL
#16 dad – Gaston (not for sale)
#17 mum – Gypsie (not for sale)
Due to covid appearing to do the rounds again, there will be no ‘meet and greets’, however I can say that the white ones are a lot! More skitsy and active, and the brown ones are a lot more calm, quiet and shy.
Only genuine, caring, animal loving buyers please
