Bamboo poles and bean plants. π
My new freshly-cut (from the backyard of someone on Titirangi Facebook page!) green bamboo poles holding up my garden shades (old poles were rotten at the base & one broke in the storm the other night π ), and dwarf beans (from someone else on Titirangi Facebook page!) newly planted in the vege garden bed by the back door - splattered with liquid seaweed fertiliser and then watered. That's why they look a bit all-over-the-place, but they should right themselves again soon. π
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Xmas lights exploded
My Christmas tree lights controller exploded in a ball of flames last night, so please be careful, Ive had them for a few years. If I hadnt been in the room it would have been a fire.
