What would you like to see in the David Jones building?

Reporter Community News

Don't book on the library replacing David Jones when it closes next year.
The store, part of a trans-Tasman chain owned by South Africa-based Woolworths, will close in June next year, with the loss of more than 150 jobs and the prospect of a gaping hole in the city’s golden mile.

The store, part of a trans-Tasman chain owned by South Africa-based Woolworths, will close in June next year, with the loss of more than 150 jobs and the prospect of a gaping hole in the city’s golden mile.
Experts say it is unsuitable for a library and are confident new tenants will be found. Offices and multiple retailers on the ground floor are considered more likely.

Free: ASKO washing machine - needs repairs but a great machine

Caroline from Berhampore

My ASKO washing machine (front loader) flooded this morning. It needs either a new valve or a new circuit / computer board. The service folks were going to take it on Tuesday.

It needs either a new valve or a new circuit / computer board. The service folks were going to take it on Tuesday. It was a top of the range machine when I bought it. Washes really well. I was going to get it repaired but discovered that I could get the new machine I had ordered as part of my kitchen renovation earlier than anticipated (was supposed to be delivered in May due to COVID, my kitchen designer pulled some strings so I can get the new machine next week). If anyone wants it either because they are handy and can fix it, or wants the parts - you are welcome to come and get it this weekend. The only condition is I'm short and you will need to carry it. And not bash my walls!

Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

This week we again feature Louise Thomas, who supplied the photos and the words.

"Molly didn’t know exactly when it all went wrong, but she was pretty sure Brad had been a massive misstep. He was a real fly boy, handsome, with a cute ruff of feathers giving him a jaunty look. He used to swagger onto her section of the beach with little fish gifts. Once, she had been on a fast-track career path at flight school, then six months later she was sitting on a guano-covered rock in a stinking estuary having to regurgitate mush for a screaming infant. It’s not that she didn’t love the little tyke, but he was never in the plans and some days she felt like her head was going to split open with his incessant asthmatic kvetching. And Brad? She hadn’t seen that no-good bounder in weeks. Red-billed gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae scopulinus). Parent and juvenile, Hutt Estuary."

What events are you planning to check out in Wellington over the weekend?
A crowd of 30,000 Six60 fans are expected at Sky Stadium for the band’s Wellington concert. The show is one of a number of big events to coincide with good weather over the coming weekend.
The capital is set for another purple patch this weekend with tens of thousands of people having marked Chinese New Year celebrations, a concert by Kiwi band Six60 and the Wine and Food Festival on their calendars. Adding to the colour will be the on-going What if the City Was a Theatre? arts programme.
More than 50,000 people are expected to welcome the year of the ox across a series of Chinese New Year events. The festival begins with a fireworks display on the waterfront on Saturday night followed by a market, Chinese Zodiac Art Trail, lightbox exhibition, and a street parade on Sunday.
