"My name is Fig and I am looking for my forever home. I haven't had the best start to life so I am eager for a second chance at happiness and love. I am looking for a home that has had experience with dogs before. I am a smarty pants so would love a home that has the time and patience to channel that energy into training, which I have not had prior to SPCA. I can guarantee I will pick things up very quickly. I also happen to be very food motivated. My new home would need to have someone around for parts or most of the day as I am not yet used to being left alone for long periods. I would thrive better in a home where I have company. I have proven to be a bit of an escape artist so my new home would need to have high fencing at least 2 meters."
Does anyone have a small study desk that they no longer use to give away as my flatmate are looking for one please

"Bucket List! I'd never photographed the wandering albatross previously. Today I photographed a few. The adult here is the smaller of the two birds, and is apparently 35. The younger albatross is around 18 years old. Totally thrilled with this pic, as we had a big swell out there today."

Kerbside rubbish and co-mingle recycling (wheelie bins and bags) are being prioritised, but there may be some delays. If yours is missed, please leave it out overnight for collection the next day.
Glass collections will be put on hold from Monday 27 June for an estimated two weeks.

We wish our contractors a speedy recovery.
Thank you all for your patience 🙏

Anyone can make a home that is inviting and relaxing after a long cold day.
Choose a warm paint colour: Explore the colour wheel - Notice that yellows, oranges and reds are on the warm side so utilising those colours will simulate a cosier, warmer mood. Blue and purples are on the cool side so they will simulate the opposite mood.
Warm lighting: Group lighting by using task and ambience lighting and a mixture of table and floor lamps. Warm coloured bulbs throw out a softer light and give a room a cosy feel.
TIP: Having your lights on separate switches means you can control how bright/dim a space will be.
Add pot plants: Any living element contributes to a cosy and inviting feel. Plants in baskets are not only on-trend, but they also generate more oxygen inside your home too.
TIP: Group pots together using different shapes and heights to make a focal point.
Carpet, rugs and textiles: Tiles are great but can be chilly underfoot in the cooler months. Carpets insulate, soften and warm up a room and New Zealand wool carpets are environmentally friendly with a sustainable fibre, plus naturally flame retardant.
Don’t discount rugs even if you have carpets. Make sure you choose a rug that works with your existing carpet. Placing a rug between yourself and the floor instantly guarantees a warmer atmosphere. Rugs are also incredibly good at tying a space together.
TIP: Garage carpet reforms the space from a cold concrete feel to a soft warm space too!
