I have lived here 2 and half years and didn't realise that this small area is treated differently from the rest of the carparks. Why I have no idea, particularly as these parks are very near one of the main entrances. I returned to confirm that I was in the 'wrong', looking for signs. There is a sign about 2-3 stories high saying that some areas may have different limits, very dangerous when you are supposed to be watching the vehicle in front and then saw that there were two miniscule signs with 30 on them and they only apply to one row of parks.
Anyway for those of you new to the area, please be aware that the parks closest to Countdown have the least time available either 30 or 60 minutes, at busy times I doubt anyone would be able to do their grocery shopping in less that an hour particularly when queuing during COVID levels. Rest assured I will be writing to complain to the management of Coastlands, during these times they should be encouraging people to shop not stinging them with a huge fine for patronaging the stores!
A laminated poster showing Max and one of the wild things.

The idea of being able to make your own choice is great - I don't have a problem with that. But when so many professionals working in the end-of-life area make submissions against this legislation I have to ask the question - what am I missing?

We used some of this material to cover a foot stool.
The remaining piece of material measures 1.45m wide by 1.92m long.
This piece is in average condition - there are some marks on the back.
It is slightly darker than the pictures show.
We are a smoke-free and pet-free home.

These still work but they may be more suitable for parts.
They are both 40 years old and have done very heavy duty.
No longer required but I thought someone might need certain parts.
Must take it all.
I'm not sure what this is made off but it is very heavy.
There are small chips out of the two ears on the cat on the right.
They are not very noticeable.
Priced to sell.
We are having a clean out.
This well used coffee grinder has a removable burr grinding wheel.
It has a 17 position grind selector and a coffee bean container.
It can automatically grind up to 12 cups.
It comes with its own box, but I have no manual for it.
Model no RHTSM2D
This is still in its box with the manual.
It has been sitting in Mum's pantry unused for I don't know how long.
It seals bread at the edges.
It has a stainless steel finish and non-stick plates.

I bought this to make smoothies about 8 years ago.
I only followed this fad for a short while. It sits in its box and is no longer used. The manual is available on line.

In a letter sent to Kāpiti Coast District Council (KCDC) on September 30, Kāpiti Coast Airport Holdings Limited through Russell McVeagh partner Craig Shrive, accused the council of failing to engage with the company ahead of making resolutions about the privately owned Kāpiti Coast Airport.
Mayor K Gurunathan said the letter was clearly designed to intimidate councillors and comments he made about being prepared to join an occupation of the airport were made in a private capacity.
