SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Rolly.

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"Hey, I'm Rolly. I am a very sweet and gentle boy. I have had a lot of changes happening in my life recently and it has understandably left me feeling a bit nervous and shy.

I have had a lot of changes happening in my life recently and it has understandably left me feeling a bit nervous and shy. I can get quite nervous in new situations and when meeting new people, but once I am given time to settle in, and you earn my trust, I know I will settle right into the family. Due to my shyness, I will be best in an adult only home where it is quiet, as loud and sudden noises and movements can sometimes worry me. I would also enjoy going home where one of my humans has had experience with shy and timid cats before. I would also enjoy if my humans were around for some or most parts of the day, so that we can keep each other company. ?

Hard window treatments - What to consider

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Wellington (The Wash House)

Hard window treatments include roller blinds, shutters, sunscreen blinds, venetian blinds, vertical blinds, and wooden blinds which can be used in conjunction with curtains, swags and tails, top treatments and pelmets. In this article we will outline the features of hard window treatments and … View moreHard window treatments include roller blinds, shutters, sunscreen blinds, venetian blinds, vertical blinds, and wooden blinds which can be used in conjunction with curtains, swags and tails, top treatments and pelmets. In this article we will outline the features of hard window treatments and highlight key considerations when dressing your windows.

PLEATED BLINDS:
• Available as a single pleat or in a honeycomb design.
• Stack into a minimal space and come in a wide range of colours as a block-out of semitransparency.
• The honeycomb style is the best type of blind for heat retention because they have an air pocket to trap heat and are therefore energy efficient.

ROLLER BLINDS:
• A fabric blind that comes in a wide range of textures, colours, and opacity.
• Can be controlled by spring operation, a chain, or motorisation.
• Great in contemporary situations where large window have little or no stacking ability and clean, modern lines are required.

My name is Bena, I’m 20 and live in Wellington city centre. I’m currently working full time and looking for some extra babysitting work on the side, after December I will no longer work full time so will be after more steady babysitting (works well for school holidays!).

I’ve been babysitting on and off since I was 13, though not for the last couple of years as I’ve been working more.

I am very comfortable with kids and have experience looking after ages 2+ years old.
Currently my availability is:

Sunday and Monday - all day
After December/start of 2023 - all days available

As I live in Wellington city centre so can easily travel to most suburbs in Welly!

Happy to provide references if you would like.
