Bits and bobs and Bitsy’s and Bob’s for workshop

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I’m still after a few things for the workshop.

Does anyone have a spare dish rack, tray, drawer caddy/cutlery tray, plate rack, cup holder, or any other kitchen storage solutions they don’t need? They’ll find use in the Re-New Community Workshop and Store smoko room.

I’m also looking for qualified/experienced people who might like to teach workshops, on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

The sorts of workshops I’m looking to host are basic home maintenance, beginners sewing, woodwork, metalwork, art, jewellery making, lamp wiring or rewiring, pottery, salvage art, upholstery or anything else people might be interested in.

These workshops will be targeted at beginners. So, if you are a retired tradie, or a newly quailed one, or a competent, skilled, experienced contractor etc and interested in sharing your knowledge, especially if you are still licensed or registered in your field, and able to sign off on students efforts I.e test and tag lamps, please let me know.

At Re-New I’m trying to bring back some basic life skills, and, perhaps, give people a new direction.

Come into the store 10am-2.30pm Tuesdays through Thursdays, or send me a message or give me a call on 06 870 3823

New neighbour

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There’s growing debate about whether New Zealand’s extended Christmas break (and the slowdown that comes with it) affects productivity.

Tracy Watkins has weighed in ... now it’s your turn. What’s your take? 🤔

A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
