Razor blades in the walls....
Has anyone ever seen something like the image below in an older Kiwi home? Does anyone remember them from their childhood? These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.
I'm certain I've seen something like this here in Aotearoa-NZ, but can't for the life of me recall where. It was in the back of the medicine cupboard. Let us know if you've seen, had - or have - one in your home.


Civil Defence are?
Makes you wonder what all the fuss is about when today we get siren warnings with a 8.0 earthquake near the Kermadec island Raoul and yesterday in the same area there was a 8.1 and no warning from Civil Defence? Can anyone explain why the difference response from CD.

Fred, our much loved Tonkinese has gone missing from our house in Graham St. in Kensington. He 6 years old, chocolate and light brown, has blue eyes and a white patch on his left front leg. He's been missing since the 24th but we were tramping so have just got back and are really missing him. His favourite person has just gone off to university and he's probably missing her. If you could check your sheds or any likely hiding places we'd be really grateful. Please contact Jane on 0210302572 with any information. Thank you <3
