Hi there. Is there anyone that can help me with setting our gas central heating system. I have no idea, I can turn it on but do not want it to heat all the bedrooms in the house. Cheers. Dale
Found this cutie at Waikanae River over the weekend, Sunday 8th May, on rocks at swimming hole near Maple Lane. Looks like it might be someone's favourite toy.

"Believe me, madam, I am just as surprised to see you, but don't have the same feelings of delight. You will forgive me if I now turn and run screaming into the bushes. Common pheasant/ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) - a very brief surprise encounter yesterday on the path beside the Waimanu Lagoon in Waikanae. Bird #72 in 2022."

Mute swan (Cygnus olor) at Henley Lake in Masterton - nobody has written a poem about this guy. Interesting aside - I read "Stop all the Clocks" at my father's funeral many years ago, it is still one of my favourites. Knowledge of swans aside, Auden was a genius. Bird #78 in 2022."
