"A short trip on Transmission Gully out to the Waikanae Estuary is always a great place to observe and photograph the local birdlife. I was pretty rapt with our Caspian tern and white faced heron experience in particular. Both were in hunting mode, and as you can see both met with success too!"

We are happy to confirm that our contractors are feeling better and glass collections will start again on Monday 18 April.

We know there will be a bit of a backlog, but we ask that you please only put your glass out in official Council crates, and put it out in stages so that we don't overwhelm the processing plant.

You can still drop your glass off for free at the Recycling Centre at the Southern Landfill.

Co-mingled recycling in bags and wheelie bins is still being collected and recycled as normal.

Thank you all for your patience, kindness and empathy during this time. It is greatly appreciated by us and our contractors.

Vintage 1970s Breville Teasmade

Julie from Karori

I bought this Teasmade as a surprise for English visitors, so they could set the timer for a nice cup of tea on waking. It did work perfectly and it is in absolutely pristine condition. Even though it is about 50 years old , it still looks new and appears to have had very little use in the past.

Even though it is about 50 years old , it still looks new and appears to have had very little use in the past. As I am not a tea drinker I have decided to sell it. It has full instructions and is very simple to use. Great for a guest room , an Air b&b or for yourself.
These are highly collectable and hard to come by. I will leave it on Neighbourly for a few days and if not sold, put it on Trademe for a higher price.

Price: $95

I am looking for a lovely flatmate to come and join me in a lovely 3 bedroom very sunny house in Northland/Wilton.
I am a mature early childhood teacher in Thorndon and have one 3 year old cat that lives with me. Would you like to join us too?
The weekly rent is $320 which includes internet. Power and cleaning products will be split between us as required.
The house has a garden, carport, is fenced and looks out over Otari bush.
The Number 22, 23, 13 buses leave right outside the neighbours house and run through the city and past Vic University.
Ideally there would only be myself and one other living here as it would be great to be able to keep one of the rooms spare for guests or an office if needed.

Here is the trademe post. trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=3570043565

Ezetil (German made) E26 Electric chilly bin.
This compact 21 l electric cooler neatly fits behind the driver or passenger seat of cars, making it the ideal companion for road trips and days out. Lightweight and with high quality insulation, it continues to keep contents cool for a while after disconnection from the 12 V cigarette lighter socket. The detachable lid is locked in place by the handle when it's closed, so contents won't spill out when you hit a bump in the road. When connected to the cigarette lighter socket, it cools snacks and drinks up to 15 °C below the ambient temperature. Thanks to its high quality insulation, contents stay nicely cool and fresh on the beach or picnic area, even after the Mirabelle MM24 DC has been disconnected from power.
