Something a bit different this week. Louise Thomas features regularly on Neighbourly but it appears she is not the only bird lover in the family.
"This beautiful drawing was a present from my lovely daughter, Caitlin, for my birthday. It's a portrait of a chap who frequents a large tree at the back of our neighbour's section - it borders our section at the back so he is often peering into our yard - this is the view we normally have of him. I've always valued the handcrafted gifts my children give me - looking at them in chronological order is like viewing the ascent of man. This one's going straight to the trophy room. Kererū/wood pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae)."

Free Coffee Machine

Russell from Paraparaumu

It goes. It makes coffee.

Only issue is that I think the pump doesn't have enough pressure due to a loose pipe (you can hear a slight hiss) because of this, you need to rotate the dial to "off" and back to coffee mode once or twice to make a shot of coffee.

Pickup from Paraparaumu.
