Having a little foresight I installed 2 plastic water tanks (200x 250ltr) several years ago. You can buy them for a low price from the council and a young chap at the top of Crystal Grove. You'll have water to feed your gardens and when boiled, you can drink the stuff. So stop complaining … View moreHaving a little foresight I installed 2 plastic water tanks (200x 250ltr) several years ago.

Good to see the rain outside. With demand creeping up yesterday, it's nice to know that our rivers will be getting a boost .

BBQ for sale, gas bottle not included. Will need a bit of elbow grease but should scrub up well. If your interested please call 976 3221.
Does anyone want any rhubarb? I have a large plant which I don’t want, feel free to take the whole plant, or just come and cut as much as you want 😊

We've seen some awesome examples of people conserving water over the past week.

It's been a good start to 2018
With lots of people heading out of the Wellington region for the Christmas and New Year period we saw a massive decrease in demand. And a bit of rain on the side means some of the water in our storage lakes has been replenished.

With lots of people heading out of the Wellington region for the Christmas and New Year period we saw a massive decrease in demand. And a bit of rain on the side means some of the water in our storage lakes has been replenished.
There is still a ban on residential sprinklers and irrigation systems around the region.
We are not yet half way through summer, so keep encouraging your neighbours to #watcheverydrop.
We will be celebrating some of the communities this summer who #loveeverydrop, so keep your eyes peeled
Does anyone know a local bee keeper? We appear to have some honey bees making themselves at home in our spouting/roof. We haven’t gotten up to have a look yet but there is a lot of activity happening out of one particular spot. We are hoping to have someone come in and get them moved on rather … View moreDoes anyone know a local bee keeper? We appear to have some honey bees making themselves at home in our spouting/roof.

Thank you if you can help.
Inspired by Laurie's post re being deposited in the rubbish truck, my thought was: just as well they didn't have the trucks with compressing / compacting gear inside. Add Chris' comments .....

Thought we could have some fun and share a memory or two more;
Memory (from the musical 'Cats'.)
"All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again."
It’s 1pm Boxing Day in Birchville and the rain started at 4am this morning. My New Years wish is simple. We should arrange with the council that rain should only fall between 1am and 3am every night.

My New Years wish is simple. We should arrange with the council that rain should only fall between 1am and 3am every night. This would ensure we don’t have to water our gardens every morning and waste our precious water supplies. That should keep the council happy not having to allocate water from their limited resources. It would also mean a reliable vegetable growth and the economics of eating greens much more sensible. Have a good New Year!
Bout 70 years go when I was a young boy in Miramar, our rubbish bin lived by our back door and was emptied once a week by the dustman who walked up the drive, around the sunroom, and tipped the rubbish bin into a big sack that was emptied into the back of a huge truck outside on the road.

I remember hiding in the bin and I was thrown into the truck before I was allowed to go free. Maybe Upper Hutt should reintroduce the old method because I would like to get a free trip to the Silverstream tip.
I have two white single brolly sheets that are no longer needed. They are in good condition, a mark or two that I haven’t been able to get out - probably felt that has transferred. These sheets normally retail for about $50 a piece.
