Following the Kaipatiki Local Board's resolution to Auckland Transport opposing the downgrade of suburban asphalt roads to chip-seal, I'm pleased that we've been able to secure the new "rejuvenation" treatment for some roads.
This new treatment extends the life of asphalt surfaces and was trialled in Unsworth Heights. While it is more expensive than chipseal, it is cheaper than asphalt and provides a similar standard of surface, so is a very good compromise. Unfortuantely it can't be applied to all roads, and it can't be applied to roads that have already been downgraded to chip seal :(
Upcoming Chip Seal:
Melba Street, Beach Haven - 11 January
Ayton Drive, Totara Vale - 12 January
Colin Wild Place, Glenfield - 12 January
Girrahwheen Drive, Totara Vale - 12 January
Greenridge Court, Glenfield - 12 January
Upcoming Rejuvenation Seal:
Havenwood Place, Northcote - 13 January
Heathglen Place, Bayview - 13 January
Palmerston Road, Birkenhead - 13 January
Richmond Ave, Northcote Point - 13 January

Old cycling bike. Console is working during start then suddenly turns off. Need to press buttons in order for it to turn on again.
Hence giving it away if anyone wants or if they know how to fix it before I bring this one to the disposal.

This is a great alternative to the traditional Christmas pudding.

The lemon syrup that is poured over these puddings just before you serve them gives it a delicious moistness and the fragrant citrus flavour is irresistible. It also works with oranges instead of lemons and you can replace the sour cream with yoghurt.
You can bake the puddings in advance but don’t make the sugar syrup until you wish to eat it. The pudding reheats well in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. I like to serve it with a dollop of sweetened cream or yoghurt and some poached fruit such as apples or pears.
