Do you still support your local video shop? Do you have any fond memories of hiring out the latest movies, or maybe one of the old classics?

There’s also new growth at Birchville, Maoribank Corner and Poets Park, though at lower levels. It’s still safe to use those parts of the river, but keep an eye out and avoid any areas where you see toxic algae.
They’re not currently concerned about toxic algae elsewhere in the region.
You’ll see educational signs along the riverbank, warning you to keep an eye out for toxic algae, and you can learn more about it in this video: www.gw.govt.nz...

Girls day out ! Mum, Jordana, and her daughters Akasha and Ariana-Pearl came in to see us and all got their ears pierced :-)
We have a great range of earrings in stock and make it easy ... in most cases we can pierce both ears at the same time.
I have an Able Cook Maverick MK 245 2hp compressor for sale I believe it is 40 litre but not hundred percent on that. It is in good condition and have had since new.
There are no lines with this machine
