You know what's better than being stuck in boring car traffic? Riding a bike! Even if you're not fast it helps you to get around, get exercise, spot interesting things in the neighbourhood, and save lots of money on fuel and parking. So go on, give it a go!
The Aotearoa Bike Challenge is a competition between organisations to commute by bike during February. But it's so much fun that most people forget about the competition and just enjoy the fun of getting about by bike. Sign up for free as an individual or register your workplace: www.lovetoride.net...

My Canon MP970 printer appears to have kicked the bucket - I am not entirely sure, it may be the fault of a no-name black cartridge I put in there (my bad!), but it no longer prints right.

I am willing to give this to someone who wants to have a play - spend on a canon #5 black cartridge and see if that fixes it - uncertain outcome.
Or get it fixed ... it was a very good printer working off a network router lan cable or usb.
I have 8 photo quality colour cartridges (#8) in there -- free to a good home if nobody wants the printer.

Underneath the wandering Tradescantia plant is a lovely garden.
This is on a bit of a bank so I need somebody to remove the wandering jew plant they would start at the bottom standing in the stream pulling the wandering jew plant down and removing it I have an eel and fish in the stream they must be treated with respect.
As the wandering jew plant is removed, and the garden revealed other items will need trimming.
I have a disability and it is so overgrown I can not get out there to see what else needs doing
The vegetation would need to be removed from the site or I may get a garden bin in.

I miss you "Monkey". Your Mum misses you.
And your Trout misses you.
Every morning for the last 78 days the three of us have had to put the mask on.
The mask of a happy face, with a big smile on it, just to pretend all is normal and nothing has changed.
But let me tell you one thing Skoota, there is so much sadness that like tonight it is even hard to start writing something.
Tonight "Monkey" I am your dad, she is you mum, he is your brother. Tonight we are scared.
Tonight we are still looking for answers and we don't get them.
Tonight again we hope for a miracle, a sign, a voice with a real answer.
We are scared for you. For us three it is easier as we stick together, hug together and cry together.
We are scared as you are probably on your own.
Tonight we don't understand and you probably don't understand.
But we are still here for you, the door remains open as closing it would be starting to give up on you. We will not.
Skoota tonight we are scared for you.

Please - If you see someone with a new friend (Skoota) - please get him back to his family by calling the numbers above. This is so SAD.
Hi Neighbour,
How well do you know your customers? That might seem like a redundant question but let’s dig a little deeper.
Do you know their age? Their income? The values that resonate with them? Where do they live? Do they have a family? How do they like to spend their spare time?

How well do you know your customers? That might seem like a redundant question but let’s dig a little deeper.
Do you know their age? Their income? The values that resonate with them? Where do they live? Do they have a family? How do they like to spend their spare time?
As you answer these questions (and as many others as you can come up with) you’ll start to build clear customer personas that will help you tailor the experience you provide to fit the needs of your customers.
We’ve got a whole series of bite-sized videos on customer personas and customer experience waiting for you over on our website, so if 2022 is the year you take your business to the next level head on over and get started today!
