Free trampoline - last call

Karen from Southgate

We have outgrown our trampoline, and it needs some TLC. If you can come and take it away, it is yours for free. We got it from the Warehouse 2 years ago. It is in good condition other than the hole as seen in the picture, where it has come away from it's straps - needs a sewer with a strong … View moreWe have outgrown our trampoline, and it needs some TLC. If you can come and take it away, it is yours for free. We got it from the Warehouse 2 years ago. It is in good condition other than the hole as seen in the picture, where it has come away from it's straps - needs a sewer with a strong needle. The netting is all intact, and it is still sturdy. It measures 310cm in diameter, with a little bit more to allow for the uprights which curve outwards.

Some delightful words and a picture from Louise Thomas.
"Those with delicate sensibilities look away and stop reading now. For the rest of you, this is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Two black swans/kakīānau (Cygnus atratus) were doing their whole love dance that they do, with the twining necks and head bobbing (I have much nicer photos than this one - but this is the funny one), they finished with some post-coital celebratory honking. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a male greylag goose zoomed in and starting joining in with his own loud honking, while swimming around the loving couple - it quite put the poor old male swan off his stride. He wound up nipping the goose on the bottom to get him to go away - it quite ruined the mood."
