I have seen that a number plate for a 2008 VW Golf is laying on the front lawn at 45 Boxhill. If it’s yours you may want to grab it from there.
Have a great day. 😁
This weeks contribution comes from Louise Thomas.
"Is that a little blue sky this afternoon? I feel like a mole rat emerging after a week in the burrow. This grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) seems pretty happy to see the sun. He's posing in a cedar tree for Christmas cards."

Next Saturday (12 June), the team at Fire and Emergency will be holding a fire safety session in Johnsonville.
The session will offer advice about how to reduce potential fire risks around your home.
Fire Risk Management Officer Phil Soal says cooking and using heaters pose significant fire risks.
“Hopefully those who attend will leave the session having learnt about kitchen fire safety, the dangers around heaters and how to reduce the risks when using multi-boards.”
He says an important message Fire and Emergency wants the public to know is that a house fire can be un-survivable within three minutes.
The free session will conclude with a kitchen fire demonstration, where Fire and Emergency will demonstrate what and what not to do in the event of a kitchen fire. The Johnsonville Volunteer Fire Brigade will also be in attendance to answer questions and show children over the fire truck.
Details:
When: 2 pm, Saturday, 12 June
Where: Johnsonville Uniting Church
18 Dr Taylor Terrace, Johnsonville

At just three months old, Piglet was covered in one of the worst cases of mange the SPCA vets had seen.
Piglet’s skin was red, raw and weeping. Mange is a debilitating skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Left untreated like this, it is horrific and extremely painful.
Found wandering the streets alone, the disease had ravaged Piglet's skin, and she was in significant pain and discomfort.
Her medication is expensive and SPCA vets say she will need a lot of care.
