I was the black sheep. I left home real young, like, 17. I went to the Salvation Army, I was homeless. I went back to my parents thinking they'd changed, or, I don't know, something will be different, but it just wasn't. I had to come to terms with reality. Now I'm estranged, I'm doing my own thing. I've had no contact in ages, it is what it is.
I'm trying to get the skills, I want to pursue music as a full time job. Even if it just pays for the basics. That's what I really want to do with my life, I need to do it, it feeds my spirit.
I learned bass guitar, electric guitar. I learned how to rap, sing and a bit of metal growl. So like, you know, the heavy vocals. It's like an outlet, if I'm going through some real heavy duty stuff, I can just fall back on the music. I always feel better.
I saw someone had an advertisement for a band, so I got their number, gave them a ring. You never know what might happen. I used to be so insecure and shy, I hid away on purpose. But these days I want to be an open book, I'm more confident in my own skin.
I might be going back to the Salvation Army. It's better than being on the streets in the elements, cold, freezing. Yeah, you get a roof over your head three meals a day. It's better than being stranded.
I was born in Christchurch, been here my whole life. I also like getting out into nature. If I had money, I'd be a nomad, just travelling with a backpack. I do like it here, but it would be a good change to see the world. Yes, this is just a tiny little island, it's a big world out there.”
Hi, I'm looking for unwanted wooden planks.
- 15+ cm wide.
- Either 4-5cm thick or 2cm thick.
- Any length over 1m
They need to be in relatively good condition.
Will be making planter boxes.
Am happy to pay something for them.
Thanks
Great for hedging. Grows to around 1m with a spread of 1m but can be kept to any size and grown as a shrub or used as a hedge. Very hardy - tolerates most soils and will grow from full sun to semi shade. $3 per plant.
Fast-growing, spreading, drought-tolerant grey shrub. Attractive hedge with pale-blue bee-attracting flowers. Looks great as a trimmed shrub, low shelter or topiary. Great on coastal sites. Evergreen. Hardy. Lots available. $3 each
Fast growing, grows in sun or shade. Great for hedges or topiary. Good size. $3 per plant.
Repurpose an old pallet into freestanding storage for your shed or garage and finish it in Resene Amulet for a fresh new look. Find out how to create your own with these easy step by step instructions.
