It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

The CDHB will now use the Christchurch City Council-owned Lichfield St car park building. It has 805 parks and is regularly well below capacity.

After watching starlings initially dominate the waxeyes over the fatbags we'd put up, I noticed that once the fatbag had shrunk enough, the starlings could no longer land. So after putting up 2 new fatbags today I made a circular "lid" for one out of a bit of lino.

So after putting up 2 new fatbags today I made a circular "lid" for one out of a bit of lino. The waxeyes can still come in from the side and even hang upside down from the "lid" but the starlings can't hover or fly in from the side. I've left the second fatbag for the starlings.
I guess an old plastic lampshade would do or an old paint tin lid - even cardboard would last for the life of the fatbag. Cheers - John
PS No starlings were harmed - just annoyed!

He’s attended many serious motorcycle crashes and learned first-hand the factors that cause and contribute to them.
Sadly, in the majority of cases, there were things the rider could have done to prevent the crash, “and that breaks my heart”, says Graeme. His solution? “Do some training”. It just might save your life.

How do you feel about the city owing $2.1B

Saw this in Stuff....
Appears both CCC & ECAN want a fuel tax for christchurch, so looks like we will get hit twice... that means up to 20 cents per litre plus GST.
To say this makes me angry is an understatement!
