Remember the most experienced rider should ride at the back of the pack, and plan your stops along the way. If you find yourself ahead of the group slow down and wait for others to catch up. And as always, ride your own ride and stay Shiny Side Up!
Saw them just today as I was on the way to feed a customer's cats out at Laingholm while they were away, very polite, not aggressive or intimidating at all. Two brothers, a 14 year old and his younger brother.

Two brothers, a 14 year old and his younger brother. I do not give money to beggars but still wanted to help them - I did not have any cash anyway and said so, but wondered if WINZ would help them, the 14-year-old said no they wouldn't because they have no address. And they weren't scruffy, so either they are NOT homeless or they have been kicked out of home fairly recently, I don't know. So anyway when I got home I told Kirsteen about them, she said to ring the police and give a description, age, what they were wearing etc, so I did, as this is the best way to help them, and as the woman who took my call said, it's not safe for them on the streets, and that they would get some officers out to the two boys to see what's going on, get them home or get Oranga Tamariki involved if necessary, etc.....I said I think they are still there, and that I had not seen them in the area long, the one I spoke to said he'd got moved on from Pak N Save for obstruction in a public place, I think I remember him standing just by the road entrance to the Alderman Pak N Save carpark, holding a sign asking for $18.....sigh. =( Heh. =P I hope they get all the help they need, and soon. Because heaven knows anything's better than being on the streets - I hope they get a really good foster home, and into school. That'd be best.

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...
Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar.

When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar. But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?
