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?

It was also dry with above average sunshine.
Our daily average maximum temperature was 20.7℃. Only four times in the last 15 years has the November average exceeded 20 degrees, the last being in 2022. This temperature was around 1.5 degrees above the longtime average.
Rainfall of around 80mm was a little above average, but it mostly fell as two events, separated by up to two dry weeks.
Sunshine amounting to the equivalent of 18 days was above that usually experienced in December.
It seems the forecasted La Niña summer may have already arrived in November, so I guess we can expect December to be similar to what we had in November, with perhaps less wind and an average temperature of around 22 ℃.
Photo:The early summer seemed to suit this rose with it having more blooms than usual.
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Does anyone have a spare RCA to HDMI converter they no longer require ?

I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I think he's from the CIA."
