From 12:01am, Wednesday 17th January, Wellington, Porirua, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt will move to level 2 water restrictions. All unattended watering systems will be banned, this includes household sprinklers and irrigation systems.

You will be able to water your garden by hand anytime, on any day, so long as you don’t leave your garden hose or watering device unattended.

This helps to limit water waste and helps reduce the risk of tighter water restrictions and further shortages.

Rain is forecast, but the amount expected is not enough to help the situation.

For more information on the risk this summer and tips on water conservation, head to wellingtonwater.co.nz/our-wai-can-run-dry

Play each evening is 1 game, starting 6.00pm and finishing by 7.20pm

The format is 3 players to a team. (Player rotation is welcome as people often have other engagements cropping up.) At least one player should be a ‘non regular’ bowler. We have a supply of bowls for those who need them.

A ‘power play’ in each set.

A light supper is served at completion of play.

Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

I don't want the perfect looking apricot coloured spheres from the supermarket, I want the wonderful juicy REAL grapefruit from the trees in my neighbourhood! Does anyone have any to give away or sell please? I only need 6 large or equivalent in weight in small or medium, as they make a load of jars! Thanks
