Baby Grand Piano - Free to a Good Home!! - Needs to be gone before 21 November

Judy from Aro Valley

I need to dispose of a baby grand piano on behalf of someone. The piano and stool are free but you would have to pay for a mover. I could assist to organise that with my contacts which, given it's movers busiest time of the year, would be useful.

The owner says: The tone is quite lovely and it sounds good when played. I can’t swear to the length but it should be about 4’11. It's due for a tune. The ivories are in good condition, nothing sticky about the hammers. It's a basic piano and a beautiful piece of furniture. I need to let it go and would be very happy for someone to take it for the cost of moving.
A piano reconditioning specialist said: It's a reasonably good make. It needs work, including restringing. The easiest is to give it away "as is" on the understanding it needs work. It is a baby grand so will always be a bit short on tone.

Please call me on 027 450 5057 if you are seriously interested.
I can't seem to add a picture but can send one separately if needed.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
