Does anyone remember them from their childhood? These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.

Gusts of up to 135 kmh blasted the summit of the road connecting Upper Hutt and South Wairarapa making for a hairy crossing for many motorists on Tuesday.
Waka Kotahi issued a warning on Tuesday afternoon via Twitter saying it might close the road at short notice due to high winds, but it remained open.
Regional transport systems manager Mark Owen said they were monitoring conditions on the hill, but the wind did not reach their threshold of consistently reaching gust speeds of over 140 kmh over at least a period of half an hour, which would trigger a closure.

Hydrangeas do like quite a bit of shade and they like a damp spot. They do well in pots while they are small. They grow to a good metre high and need a metre of garden to bush out in.
They lose their leaves in the winter come away with fresh leaves in the Spring and come into flower at this time of the year.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
