"Since I have been here, I have found a new best friend so will need to be adopted Kanan. He is quite shy, and will need an experienced family. This is what my foster family said about me. "Sophie was shy and hid a lot when she first came home with me. I put some food by her hiding spot and a little trail towards me and she came out and was affectionate. Until she feels safe she will hide. Sophie still - 3 months later - hides when other people come to the house, but is brave and affectionate with me. Sophie isn't really interested in toys and prefers to sleep in the sun or hang out with me. She will either snuggle into my leg on the sofa or on my lap. When she wants attention she will pat me with her paw. In the evening I would cradle her like a baby and sing to her and rub her belly, she loved it." I would do best with someone around for parts of the day, and will need to be indoors for some time until I feel safe."

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.
Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone has a few spare polystyrene boxes like the ones pictured lying around I could have?
Cheers, Hayden.

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive.

What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

"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."
