Hazy weekend for New Zealand.. again

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hazy skies caused by the tragic Australian bush fires are set to linger this weekend.

Hazy skies caused by the tragic Australian bush fires are set to linger this weekend.
Northwesterly winds have blown a hazy plume of smoke across the Tasman Sea, and while it has mostly affected the South Island in recent weeks, it has moved up the country.
The "robust plume" is expected to head to the South Island late on Saturday.
The haze has been causing a yellowish-orange, hue at sunset, making for some sweet sunset photos. Share your photos in the comments!

My owner is sad to see me go, but she's needing to upsize because of the needs of her whanau. I'm a 3 door, 5 seater and I'm a bit like the TARDIS - bigger on the inside. My back seat conveniently folds down.

I'm warranted until May 2020, and registered until January 2020. My lady owner has looked after me really well. She takes me to the mechanic every six months for a service and WOF - did I mention he's great with his hands? 😉 My mileage is approximately 207k. I've taken my owner all over the show and have been reliable with excellent fuel efficiency all the way! I'm also a convenient, zippy car for driving in the Big City. I'm really easy to parallel park because I'm compact, and I beep at you when you're getting too close to the car behind you. My owner loves how easy it is to park me up her narrow driveway.

My details are:

Make - Toyota
Model - Vitz
Year - 1999
Body style - Hatchback
Colour - Red
Engine size - 997
Fuel type - petrol
Transmission type - Automatic Less
Condition Used - Good

My owner is open to offers over $2500. Please text 021 147 9762 if you want to come and give me a test drive.

Price: $3,000

With Christmas fast approaching, it is a good time to stop and think about how we can manage Christmas in a more environmentally friendly way. Some thoughts are:
* Choose gifts with as little packaging as possible, or have
compostable packaging.
* Choose gifts in glass, paper or cardboard rather than plastic.
* Use recycled or recyclable wrapping when possible.
* Wrap gifts in a nice tea towel or handkerchief tied with a
ribbon or non-plastic string so the packaging is also useful.
* Give gifts that support people to make change such as a
nice takeaway coffee cup, glass or metal storage containers,
metal drink bottles, beeswax wrappers, useful carry bags, etc.
* Give a food hamper in a basket or box.
* Make homemade gifts that are edible or useful.
* Don't prepare more food than is required, and use or freeze
leftovers.
* Use paper plates and wooden cutlery, rather than plastic, if not
using proper plates and cutlery.
Happy Christmas everyone.
