Locals have four weeks left to get their application in for a waste reduction grant.

I never thought I would be the one asking for gardening help and window cleaning but here I am, seeking help with maintaining my garden and windows as my condition has deteriorated and I really want to spend time doing the things I love instead of the jobs I find difficult.

I love my indoor plants and succulents but our section is rather big and it does need maintaining. I am after quotes at this stage. Many many thanks.

Hi just seeing if anyone is interested in starting up a D and D gaming group?Hoping there are some people around who play ...was thinking of Paraparaumu area ,maybe a community center.
Wellington City is proposing a by-law banning unaddressed or advertising mail being put in letter boxes marked "no circulars" or '"no junk mail".
The by-law is part of a waste management plan to reduce the amount of material going in to landfills.

They are living their lives with passion and purpose, striving to push further, to create better, to go beyond the ordinary.
A new generation of Kiwis are not retiring from life; they’re finding a new way to live. One with flexibility, certainty, and the ability to dial care up and down as you need it.
It’s time for the Great Kererū Count 2020. Kererū Discovery is calling on all Kiwis to get out and count kererū.
Kererū only live in Aotearoa New Zealand. Whether you love their classic white singlets, their whooping wingbeats, or their awesome air shows, kererū are as Kiwi as kiwi.

Kererū only live in Aotearoa New Zealand. Whether you love their classic white singlets, their whooping wingbeats, or their awesome air shows, kererū are as Kiwi as kiwi.
This year the annual Great Kererū Count 2020 runs from 18-27 September.
As well as being real characters of the bush, kererū are also known as the gardeners of the sky –spreading precious seeds of forest giants such as tawa, miro and hinau. Tony Stoddard of Kererū Discovery, who coordinates the count, says kererū can pop anywhere
“At this time of the year kererū will be flocking to trees like willow and tree lucerne. These trees are kererū-magnets as the birds come out of their winter-feeding grounds and prepare for the breeding season by feeding on the nitrogen-rich leaves.”
“In urban areas, kōwhai are another important food source for kererū, and you will often see or hear angry tui defending their trees from hungry kererū.”
Sometimes, but not often, people decide they no longer want their spa pool. Spa pools are the best therapy for my condition, and new ones are so so so expensive, so if there is someone out there who is considering parting with theirs, I would love to hear from you. Many thanks.
