Antique silver bracelet

Glenys from Ngaio

This rare silver Ottoman link bracelet (19th century) features very fine filigree work combined with 'chain mail" . It's in extraordinary condition given its fine work and age.

Bought in the Middle East in the 1970s, and no longer worn. It time for someone else to treasure it.

Price: $50

I bought it in the Middle East in the 1970s. I no longer wear bracelets.
This rare piece of jewellery is worth more than I'm selling it for - I just want it to go to someone who loves it.

According to the label it's an ancient Egyptian design "aged with a tea stain effect". It's made of heat set polypropylene, which makes it very easy to clean. It's lovely and thick and will probably last a lifetime. I bought it new in Wellington several years ago for $889. There is slight fading across the rug at one point, which you may see in the full rug photo. It's not obvious. Pick up is in Ngaio.

"The bird feeders are now bringing in a few more different varieties of small birds. Today a flock of greenfinches visited, and a sole yellowhammer! The yellowhammer (pictured right) was a real treat, as you know they are around as they are very tuneful, however they are difficult to see at times. Our kaka also visited at least twice today!"

Another great story!
Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.

While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.

Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.

“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.

While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”

We can solve this WCC

Briony from Khandallah

Yep, totally agree that people should simply not drop them, but also firmly believe that Council and Metlink etc should support this by installing bins at every bus stop. Train stations have them already, but bus stops don't. As a litter-picker-upper I can also confirm that drink boxes and cans, and snack and takeaway wrappers are more densely discarded near bus stops and in gutters on main routes.

So WCC, please can we respond, adapt and roll with this changed world we live in - and install rubbish bins (even a recycling option if we were going to be truly innovative...) at bus stops all across Wellington? We can support and encourage people to be responsible (dog walkers included probably!) and clean up our roads and neighborhoods at the same time. Simple really.
