Are your energy bills so high they've got you feeling down? Maybe you're wondering where that draught is coming from or where all that expensive heat is going?

Or maybe your home feels (dare we say it) MOIST?

Hi Neighbours,
I've rescued quite a few vinyl records from my neighbours which would otherwise have been destined, for who knows what fate!


I am however still looking to rescue all unwanted vinyl records ( 7" or LP's), so if you no longer have a record player and still have a heap of unloved & not in use, vinyl records, taking up valuable space at home, I would be interested in taking them.

I'm a record collector and vinyl DJ so would give them a good home, where they would get played. I can pick-up immediately.



Please message me.

Cheers

Steve

Each cat is going to average a cost of $300 each, could well be alot more for some that may be sick or have injuries. I have 15 of these cats & kittens already in the short time since I was alerted to them. Please help enable us to get the lot b4 it's to late, every dollar counts more than you'd realise, thankyou :)

This weeks contribution is from Louise Thomas.

"When I was young I didn’t like the boatsheds. To my eye they looked derelict and unkempt – a hotchpotch of too bright clashing colours, and all of them peeling to reveal bleached wood underneath. They reminded me of my Nana’s crocheted rugs with frayed threads and darned patches. I liked things shining, new, and squared away. Anything else smacked of some sort of failure, either of duty or poverty.
Now that I’m older, and not untouched by time myself, I realise that decay is inevitable, and, more importantly, there is texture and beauty in it. The sea, like life, can be a rough place. The winds carry salt and sand, storm surges leave marks and baggage piled around the high tide mark, sometimes spilling over onto the little docks. But in this flotsam, rotting seaweed, silt, and tangled tree branches are a million little bugs, fish, and crabs – a roiling primordial soup seasoned with iodine and salt and feasted on by the birds. Nothing is lost - just transformed. Sacred kingfisher/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) catching the light at the Hutt Estuary boatsheds, Hikoikoi Reserve, Lower Hutt."
