Missionaries?

Sharon from Epsom

Was just getting in my car to leave my daughter's place in Rawhiti Rd, One Tree Hill, when two young women came up the driveway and asked if I needed any help. When I said 'No thanks' they claimed to be missionaries going around helping people.

When I said 'No thanks' they claimed to be missionaries going around helping people. If they are legitimate, what a nice thing to do, but it sounds a bit odd to me. Just letting you know in case it's a scam.

Why Is?

Andrea from Eden Terrace

A camel is beige
Like the sands of time
It must not stand out more so
Than the noblest of persons around it

An elephant is grey
Because it has the strength of stone
Standing as strong as a pillar

A camel is beige
Like the sands of time
It must not stand out more so
Than the noblest of persons around it

An elephant is grey
Because it has the strength of stone
Standing as strong as a pillar
So to disguise its fragility

A lion is yellow
Like the rays of the sun
Burning bright as a beacon
Of hope to those who beg its pardon

A person can be many colours
to reflect on what they cast
which is why many are on the spectrum
as the rainbow’s prisms are vast ++

Hi - I'd like to get rid of our old television and Freeview box, but don't want it to go to land-fill if it can be used by someone (I hate waste!).

Pretty sure the TV is in working order, but the Freeview box I think needs repairing or replacing to get the TV functional. I think the screen is about 50cm across diagonally. Anyone happy to adopt them?

There's some excellent stuff in the mix, from really stiff canvas to super tough more flexible canvas. I made a wallet out of the stiff grey material years and years ago and it's holding up perfectly. Great for work bags for tools overhead, and all kinds of uses. Free to a crafty home!
