Again this year I have a number of potted TETE TETE mini daffodils for sale. They are at the bud burst stage(just starting to open) only $12 per pot with 25% of sales being donated to the CANCER SOCIETY. Pickup is in Rangiora phone 03 745 91 48
It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.
Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?

The lookout is on for Waimakariri’s environmental champions.
Waimakariri Zone Committee chairperson Carolyne Latham is encouraging people to get their nominations in for the Waimakariri Environmental Awards.
The awards were established last year and are organised in conjunction with the Waimakariri District Council’s community service awards.
‘‘Everything went quite smoothly last year so we are just trying to do the same again,’’ Latham said.
‘‘I would really encourage people to enter or make a nomination because the environmental awards help to bring into the spotlight all the good work that is going on out there, and hopefully inspire others as well.
‘‘Most don’t want or seek recognition, but are quite chuffed when they get it.’’
With two ecologists on the judging panel, entering the awards is an opportunity to get some feedback and advice on projects, she said.
The judging panel can also give suggestions for funding sources if it is required.
Last year’s winners included Noelene Francis, who runs the Silverstream Reserve planting days, Oxford Dark Sky and Cust School.
Nominations close on August 16 and there are three categories for individuals, groups and youth.
This year’s winners will receive a $750 voucher, some plants from Riverside Horticulture and a framed certificate.
The Waimakariri Zone Committee is a joint committee of the Waimakariri District Council and Environment Canterbury.

I used to walk this frequently a couple of months ago, but I was put off by a stocky guy on his bike slowing down near me and saying "hi beautiful" and looking back continuously at me as he cycled off. I didn't walk this track again after that until yesterday, where i saw him again and he said "geez you're gorgeous". I guess this may seem trivial but as a female walking alone I do feel more vulnerable....
Hi
This is a bit of a longshot but thought I'd give it a go.
I collect old films on video (like we used to get at video rental shops etc) and have a few tapes with mould on them and need cleaning.
Does anyone have an old video tape cleaning device or tape winder device they no longer need?

I'm planning to build my own video cleaning device as I have quite a few to clean but thought I'd ask here first just in case someone has one gathering dust in their garage somewhere. :-)
Thanks

Just found a recorded message on my answering machine.

It claims to be from SPARK, saying there's a problem and they will disconnect my line within 24 hours, and that for further information I should press button 1. I'm really worried that I could be turned off even though I disconnected from SPARK about 2 years ago... NOT. The scammers are still out there! I suspect that if someone follows the instruction they will be connected to a scammer via a high cost connection, so be aware folks and ignore, do NOT follow the instructions and just delete the message. I have advised SPARK that their name is being used in this way.

Today we're going to highlight an underrated oral hygiene habit: Tongue Cleaning
Why Should I clean my Tongue?
Studies show that using a tongue cleaner is almost TWICE as effective at removing biofilms / tongue coatings that cause bad breath than a toothbrush alone. And, getting rid of that stinky gunk helps freshen breath.
Tongue cleaning improves our ability to taste subtle flavours in foods.
This healthy oral hygiene habit slows the growth of plaque.
For the ultimate technique to end bad breath forever, scrape your tongue with the tongue cleaner and then brush your tongue (and the rest of your mouth) with our HealThy Mouth Blend!
