Trigger Warning! Dead Chicken Found

Samah from Wadestown

Have you lost a chicken? Or did you drop a dead one outside our house, thinking it was one of ours? We came out to find someone's dead chicken on our path today and it hasn't been there long. No sign of a struggle/feathers around so it really seems like someone else has just dropped it … View moreHave you lost a chicken? Or did you drop a dead one outside our house, thinking it was one of ours? We came out to find someone's dead chicken on our path today and it hasn't been there long. No sign of a struggle/feathers around so it really seems like someone else has just dropped it there. If it was your friend and you'd like to collect it and bury it, we are at 88 Cecil Rd. Otherwise, if I don't hear from you, we will bury it in the garden. Sorry for your loss.

Here's an update of what's been happening with the pipelines work that will connect the Omāroro Reservoir to the network.

Work is progressing well in Hargreaves Street, as we pour the concrete floor and walls in the chamber, and finish off the pipe installation. We are on track to open up the bottom of Hargreaves Street by the end of the month in preparation for the Wallace Street road closure happening from December 8.

We’ve taken a few photos from around the current work site, as well as inside the chamber at Hargreaves Street so you can see what it looks like under the surface.

Learn more and keep up to date with the project on our website.

Buy one, give one for Kiwi families in need

Hi Neighbourly members, we all love a bargain, but buying a gift that really gives back seems like a much better way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?

Hi Neighbourly members, we all love a bargain, but buying a gift that really gives back seems like a much better way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?

We’re not sure who decided that Black Friday was suddenly a ‘thing’ down in our part of the world, so, as us Kiwis tend to do, we thought we’d put our own spin on it instead. One that is much more focused on community over consumerism, and equally about giving as it is about getting.

Curious?

Kicking off today and running through 'til Monday 2 December, we are doing our annual buy-one-give-one campaign.

That means for every Christmas Gift Box or Christmas Cracker set purchased, we’ll also give one to City Missions and food banks across the country to support families in need. Our aim is to give back to an organisation within the community that each of our customers live in.

The best part? There’s no car park congestion, over-crowded shopping malls or #walmartfights involved. You can shop online from the comfort of your own home, with the knowledge that you’re also doing good for fellow Kiwis in their own community.

You could say that our version of Black Friday is in fact a whole lot more colourful, adding brightness to what might otherwise be a fairly bleak Christmas for many families in New Zealand.

Together, we can make Christmas a bright and tasty time for families in need - and that sounds like a pretty good deal, don’t you think?!

Whether you’re buying for an avid foodie, a wannabe masterchef, a time-poor parent, or a student who needs help to step their signature spag bol up a notch, our Christmas Gift sets are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser, are all gluten-free, with no MSG, and all-natural!

You’ll find more information about Raptor Naturals, our Christmas Gift Boxes and our Christmas Crackers on our website - www.raptornaturals.co.nz

Thanks for your support

I have taught and played on this piano for 10 years and it is still in great condition, barring a few dents on the lid from when it was moved in. It will need to be moved by professional movers as it is very heavy.
