Piano
We have a lovely old piano (I suspect it may be an antique) which we have replaced with a more modern one.
It's a very beautiful piece of furniture - it's been polished and the keys replaced. Still, the piano tuner said 'dump it' because in his opinion, it is not worth tuning; however, it still plays (albeit not perfectly) and three of our kids learnt to play on it.
We shift this coming Friday morning 27th Sept so it needs to be removed by then. The movers could potentially lift it onto a trailer with their hiab for the new owner. We live behind Bishop Viard College
Note: we have also listed it on TradeMe.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
